We will get a clearer picture over the next week.
The 2024 SEC Conference tournament gets underway on Wednesday from Bridgestone Arena in Nashville. As conference tournaments begin, the SEC looks to have as many as seven teams in the field. According to the latest analysis from Chris Dobbertean at Blogging the Bracket these teams — Tennessee, Kentucky, Alabama, Auburn, South Carolina, Florida, and Mississippi State — are likely in the field. Out of those teams five are ranked in the AP Top 25 (Tennessee, Kentucky, Alabama, Auburn, and South Carolina) and all seven are ranked in the top 68 teams according to Ken Pomeroy, as is Texas A&M.
Tennessee enters the tournament as the top-seeded team in the conference, thanks to their 14-4 record in SEC play. However, a number of teams finished just a game behind them in the conference: Kentucky, Alabama, Auburn, and South Carolina all finished at 13-5 in the SEC.
Of course, the beauty of March is that a team — or teams — could crash the party. Deep runs from LSU and/or Mississippi could give the selection committee some headaches as the SEC tournament unfolds.
Finally, if you are more of an NBA fan, you might want to keep an eye on the SEC tournament anyway. Kentucky alone had a trio of players in the first round of Ricky O’Donnell’s latest mock draft including guard Rob Dillingham, who is seeing his stock soar as the tournament looms.
