Auburn Leads 2025 SEC Tournament as Favorite in Competitive Field

The SEC Men's Basketball Tournament begins March 12 in Nashville, with Auburn, Florida, and Alabama among the top contenders for the championship.

The 2025 SEC Men's Basketball Tournament runs from March 12 to March 16 at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tennessee, concluding just before NCAA Selection Sunday.
Auburn, the regular-season SEC champion, enters as the tournament favorite with odds of +150, followed by Florida and Alabama.
Top-seeded Auburn seeks to defend its title but faces stiff competition from other top-four seeds Tennessee, Florida, and Alabama, as well as potential upsets from lower-ranked teams like Kentucky.
The tournament format provides double-byes to the top four seeds, while seeds 5-8 receive a first-round bye, setting the stage for intense matchups throughout the week.
Broadcasts will air on SEC Network and ESPN, with all semifinal and championship games exclusively on ESPN.
