The 2021 SEC men's basketball tournament kicked off its quarterfinals Friday with several teams looking to begin a new era in the conference.
Kentucky has dominated this event in the past with 31 titles, including four of the last five, but the Wildcats were eliminated in the second round. Reigning champion Auburn is also unavailable because of a self-imposed postseason ban.
It means no matter which of the eight remaining teams wins it all, it will be the team's first title since at least 2014. For some, it's been decades since the last title.
Here is the latest from Day 3 of the SEC tournament from Nashville, Tennessee.
