The 2026 SEC Tournament bracket is set. Nate Oats' Alabama Crimson Tide clinched the No. 2 seed in the SEC Tournament with a resounding 96-84 win over the Auburn Tigers at Coleman Coliseum on Saturday.
With the benefit of a double-bye as a top-four seed, the Crimson Tide (23-8 overall, 13-5 conference) won't take the floor at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville until Friday.
Alabama will face the winner of Thursday's game between No. 7 seed Georgia and either No. 10 seed Texas or No. 15 seed Ole Miss. The Crimson Tide will open SEC Tournament play at 6 p.m. CT Friday. Texas faces Ole Miss on Wednesday in Nashville.
Alabama put an exclamation point on its regular season with a double-digit win over Auburn. The Crimson Tide have won nine of their last 10 games after a 4-4 start to league play. Labaron Philon had 16 points in the first half as Alabama built a 22-point lead en route to a third straight win over Auburn. The Tide led by as many as 28.
Philon recorded his 18th game of 20 or more points this season, finishing with 21 in 29 minutes in what was likely his final game at Coleman Coliseum. With 21.5 points per game, the elite sophomore guard ended the regular season as the SEC's third-leading scorer behind Arkansas' Darius Acuff Jr. and Mississippi State's Josh Hubbard.
Aden Holloway added 21 points of his own Saturday, and Amari Allen and Aiden Sherrell both finished in double figures with 16 and 10 points, respectively.
Alabama finished the regular season tied with John Calipari's Arkansas Razorbacks for the second-best record in the SEC. The Tide won the head-to-head matchup against Arkansas, 117-115, in a double-overtime shootout on Feb. 18.
The Florida Gators (25-6, 16-2) are the top seed in the SEC Tournament, which begins Wednesday, March 11 and concludes with Sunday's conference championship game.
Here's a look at the full 1-16 seeds for this year's SEC Tournament in Nashville.
Record: 23-8 overall.
