The conference is an obvious winner after setting a men's NCAA tournament record with 14 teams in the 2025 edition of March Madness. Only South Carolina and LSU fell short of the tournament as they combined to win just five SEC games.

After weeks of anticipation and speculation, the bracket-filling finally can begin today as the 68-team fields for the NCAA men's and women's basketball tournaments are revealed. "Selection Sunday" will unveil which teams made the March Madness tournaments (and which "bubble" teams were left disappointed) that will unfold over the course of four regionals to will determine the Final Four national semifinals.
