As the regular season winds down in college basketball, Bruce Pearl has the Auburn Tigers men’s basketball team poised to capture a regular season SEC Title. While the year hasn’t gone nearly as well for the Auburn women under Johnnie Harris, there is still plenty of anticipation building for both SEC basketball tournaments in a league loaded with talent.
For much of the season, the AP Poll has been loaded with SEC teams. For the week of February 24 on the men’s side, the SEC holds eight of the Top 25 spots with No. 1 Auburn, No. 3 Florida, No. 5 Tennessee, and No. 6 Alabama all contending for No. 1 seeds in the NCAA Tournaemnt.
The women of the SEC are nearly as dominant, grabbing seven of the top 25 in the same week’s poll including No. 1 Texas. And never forget about South Carolina and LSU, which are always title threats and have occupied a spot in the top 10 nearly all season.
The men’s and women’s SEC Tournaments will go a long way to shaping March Madness, and especially on the men’s side, the Auburn Tigers will be right in the middle of it. Here’s everything you need to know about the 2025 SEC basketball tournaments.
