The SEC tournament could have the best semifinal and final of any conference tournament played this season.
The league possesses four elite teams, led by the Tennessee Volunteers, who could make a case to win the NCAA men's basketball tournament.
Tennessee is the top seed going into Nashville, but it comes in off a home loss to the Kentucky Wildcats on Saturday.
Kentucky could play the highest-scoring game of Championship Week against the Alabama Crimson Tide in Saturday's semifinals.
Alabama is looking for a spark after it lost three of its last five games. The Crimson Tide won the last two SEC tournaments played in Nashville in 2021 and 2023.
