The 2021 SEC tournament would be without two of its recent blue bloods.
Auburn, which itself has imposed a postseason ban related to bribery charges brought against former assistant Chuck Person, will not participate in this year’s tournament. Then there is Kentucky, which certainly has not played like a powerhouse program in 2020-21. The Wildcats enter with the No. 8 overall seed, their worst since 2009 (when the division still appeared in the conference).
The Wildcats replace Alabama this season, beating second-year coach Nate Oates 21-6 and 16-2 in SEC play. The team is led by players such as Herb Jones, John Petty, Jayden Shackford and Jehon Quernley. His 16–2 mark in SEC play set a school record and helped the team to its first regular season title since 2001–02.
