The Kentucky Wildcats will face the Tennessee Volunteers in the 2018 SEC Tournament championship game on Sunday. The matchup will take place at the Scottrade Center in St. Louis (1 p.m. ET, ESPN, live streaming via WatchESPN).

Tennessee couldn’t miss a shot against Arkansas in the semifinals, scoring 48 points in the first half en route to the 84-66 victory over the Razorbacks. It’s been a wild ride for Tennessee, who sit with a 25-7 record and the chance of winning its first tournament title in nearly 40 years.

The Volunteers finished tied for first in the conference with Auburn after being picked to finish dead last by most experts before the season. Auburn made it as far as the quarterfinals of the SEC Tournament before they were beaten handily by Alabama, the ninth seed.

And it was Alabama themselves who Kentucky routed in the semifinals to punch their ticket to Sunday’s game against Tennessee. Wenyen Gabriel managed to stop the push from Collin Sexton and the Razorbacks, who were making a push in the second half, with his incredible performance shooting threes.

Gabriel knocked down all seven of his three-point attempts in the game, and figuring out how to stop him from doing that again is Tennessee’s chief concern. In two regular season games against one another, Gabriel hit four of five three-point attempts, but Kentucky lost both outings. That means Tennessee is going for a full season sweep over Kentucky in the grandest fashion.

Below is all you need to know to watch the action unfold on Sunday.
