SEC Tournament 2021 Preview
Alabama hasn’t won the SEC Tournament since 1991, but enter this year’s affair as the top contender after reeling off a 21-6 record, which included a 16-2 mark against conference foes.
In fact, the Crimson Tide have an outside shot of earning a top seed in the NCAA Tournament if they run the table in the SEC tourney.
“Alabama could get a number one seed,” ESPN’s Jay Bilas said. “If they win their tournament and the Big Ten, you have Michigan and/or Illinois and Iowa lose really early in their conference tournament, which could happen, you could see a team like Alabama slide in there. But I think Alabama’s going to be a number two seed. I think they’re capable of the Final Four because they can score.”
Alabama will have some competition, most notably Arkansas — the No. 8 ranked team in the nation — and perennial powers like Kentucky, Tennessee and Florida having down years.
“We can’t afford in Nashville to come out like we did [Saturday],” Alabama head coach Nate Oats told al.com, referring to his team’s hard-fought victory against Georgia in their season finale. “Proud of our guys, but we’ve got to get back to playing better. More like the second half than the first half going into Nashville.
“Some of the teams that don’t have the best records have a ton of talent and are now starting to come together,” Oats added. “You’re seeing maybe what they hoped they could be. Well, that’s a dangerous team.”
The action starts on Wednesday, but the top four seeds in the tournament have a bye until Friday. The championship game is slated for Sunday.
