The 2018 SEC men's basketball tournament will be played at Scottrade Center in St. Louis from March 8-12.
With Kentucky no longer the conference's runaway favorite, the SEC Tournament is open for the taking. Bryce Brown and Mustapha Heron have helped Auburn become a top-10 squad this season, and Tennessee has played its way back into the national spotlight. Texas A&M, while not having the most stellar conference record, is still a top-25 team. The SEC Tournament champion will receive an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament.
