LSU captured the outright SEC regular season championship with its win over Vanderbilt on Saturday, and now the Tigers will enter the SEC Tournament as the No. 1 seed.
The official bracket for the tournament has been unveiled, with the Tigers set to take on the winner of the Florida/Arkansas matchup in the first quarterfinal matchup on Friday.
Meanwhile, Kentucky locked up the No. 2 seed while Tennessee finished with the No. 3 seed, and it would certainly be quite a scene in Nashville if those two advanced to semifinal Saturday.
Here’s what the full SEC tournament bracket looks like:

At this point, the SEC is likely to land seven or eight teams in the NCAA Tournament, with Florida and Alabama sitting on the bubble at the moment.
The Gators seem to have the better chance of the two to make the field, especially after Alabama’s loss at Arkansas in the regular season finale.
If the Crimson Tide are able to beat Ole Miss on Thursday, they would certainly increase their chances of earning a bid.
