Months of sweat, hard work, and perseverance culminate this afternoon as the Auburn Tigers battle the Tennessee Volunteers for the right to be called SEC champion.
Though, each school took opposite routes to arrive at this point.
With just over a month remaining in regular season play, and sporting a .500 conference record, Auburn faced a competitive crossroads. Mired among several mid-level SEC hopefuls, the Tigers could’ve held course and gained a last-minute NCAA Tournament or NIT invite if complacency was their thing. After all, as Feb. began, the Tigers were decent enough, beating Florida and Alabama in succession, but Bruce Pearls’ talented-yet-underachieving bunch lacked a signature win — and subsequent national acclaim.
Meanwhile, Tennessee sat atop the college basketball landscape after dispatching Gonzaga, and 23 of their first 24 opponents. Further, names like Grant Williams, Admiral Scholfield, and Jordan Bone became fixtures on the national sporting scene. Amid that success, prognosticators dubbed Tennessee a sure-fire NCAA Final Four lock and Volunteer Grant Williams eventually earned SEC Player of the Year.

However, just as the Volunteers’ stock seemed untouchable, competitive missteps littered their remaining schedule. And as ‘the season of Tennessee’ unwound, Kentucky cracked UT’s aura before LSU left no doubt the Volunteer’s had strayed from their perch.
Although, it was Auburn’s early March statement win 84-80 over Tennessee which highlighted the SEC’s growing power shift and wrangled the Volunteers firmly back within the pack. Since, the Tiger’s have claimed seven-consecutive wins to gain a late taste of the acclaim Tennessee had for much of the season.
Auburn Tigers
Auburn stayed hot Saturday by derailing Florida’s NCAA auto-bid urgency, 65-62.
During a nip-tuck semi final encounter the Tigers’ 13 makes from deep, and Jared Harper’s 20 points, served as the winning factors vs. an inspired UF squad.
Overall, the Tigers shot 44%, —but also 44% from three— while commiting just 4 turnovers and turning Florida over 19 times, to advance.

On March 9, Auburn used the same ingredients, three-point accuracy, harassing defense, and excellent ball handling, to upend UT 84-80.
That win looms large for today’s SEC Title tilt as Auburn and Tennessee look to gain higher NCAA Tournament seeding.
Tennessee Volunteers
A proven, veteran-led team, Tennessee is built for big-game atmospheres and pressure situations.
The Vols showed that pedigree once more Saturday by rallying past Kentucky 82-78 to earn an SEC title game berth.
When the chips seemed down for UT, the trio of Williams (20), Schofield (21), and Bone (18), came through in spades.
The Vols’ seasoned core overcame Kentucky’s precocious talent while sending a clarion message to the NCAA selection committee in their bid for a number 1 seed.
CBB Betting Trends:
- Tennessee is 4-1 SU in its last five games
- Auburn is 5-0 SU in its last five games
Free Auburn Tigers vs. Tennessee Volunteers NCAA Prediction:
This SEC Championship game is shaping up as one for the ages. Tennessee’s had a phenomenal year, while rostering the conference’s top player in Grant Williams. And as good as Williams is, Admiral Schofield isn’t far behind —especially in clutch settings.
Likewise, Auburn is the SEC’s hottest team and is the last team to beat UT.
In a matchup this close, recent trends sway minds. And though Tennessee is a bit better on paper, Auburn holds greater momentum and a fresh SU win over the Volunteers.
