The 2024 SEC Men’s Basketball Tournament field has been officially finalized. This year’s SEC Tournament will take place March 13-17 at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tennessee.
The Tennessee Volunteers will be the No. 1 seed this year after one of the best regular seasons in program history. You have to think that Bridgestone Arena will be filled to the brim with Tennessee fans this year, giving it the home field advantage against any other team…
However, we do know that the Kentucky Wildcats and Big Blue Nation will show up in full force, especially after a blowout win over the Volunteers in their own building on Saturday. That game proved to be Kentucky’s biggest SEC win of the season. A loss would drop them to the 5th seed and have to play on Thursday.
Instead, Kentucky is the 2-seed and won’t play until Friday night at 7 pm ET. Quite a bounce for one game. It is safe to say that this was one of the more important regular-season conference wins for Kentucky in the John Calipari era.
It was a tough regular season for the Cats, but hopefully they have the firepower to make deep runs in the SEC and NCAA tournaments, especially since they have played consistently well, winning seven of eight games entering the league . Tournament.
The Wildcats haven’t won the SEC Tournament since 2018 and have lost four of their last five games, including a loss to Vanderbilt last year.
Here’s what you need to know for what will be a fun week in Nashville.
