SEC
The SEC men’s basketball tournament boils down to No. 6 Tennessee and No. 8 Florida — two of the best teams in the country — facing off in Sunday’s championship game.
The fourth-seed Volunteers (27-6) are flying high after upsetting No. 1 seed Auburn in the semifinals, holding off a late surge to win a battle between two contenders going into the Big Dance. Guard Zakai Zeigler lead the way with 20 points, while Jordan Gainey chipped in 15 off the bench. Tennessee will be hoping to repeat the outstanding defensive performance seen the last time they met the Gators, a 64-44 win on February 1.
The Gators (29-4), meanwhile, are hoping to convert a No. 2 SEC seed into a No. 1 at March Madness. Florida enters this championship game on a five-game winning streak, during which they’ve taken down four nationally-ranked foes (including a 104-82 win over Alabama on Saturday). Head coach Todd Golden’s Gators are seventh in the nation on the offensive glass, which could create the second-chance points that break open tight games.
Here’s what to know to see two national-title contenders battle for SEC supremacy at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tenn., including ticket prices and game time.
