SEC Tournament Odds 2024: Auburn Outscores High-Flying Gators to Win Conference Championship

The Auburn Tigers, who initially had the second-shortest SEC Tournament odds in college basketball, defied the odds and emerged victorious in the conference tournament under the leadership of Bruce Pearl for the second time.

Dalton Knecht, an All-American player, led the Tennessee Volunteers who were favored to win the SEC Tournament after clinching the conference regular-season title. Despite high expectations, Rick Barnes’ team suffered an upset in the quarterfinals by No. 9 seed Mississippi State, allowing other SEC contenders to vie for the championship.

Auburn emerged victorious in the conference tournament, earning its third title in program history and the second under head coach Bruce Pearl. Despite entering as the No. 4 seed, the Tigers were among the favorites to win according to March Madness betting sites.

Following their victory in the SEC Tournament, the Tigers secured a No. 4 seed in the NCAA Tournament, causing their March Madness odds to decrease across top sportsbooks. Despite being seen as a potential upset candidate in college basketball picks, Auburn’s chances of winning it all were still considered strong.

(Odds updated March 11)

As the SEC Tournament began, Tennessee was seen as a contender for a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament. However, their loss to the Bulldogs opened the door for Auburn to claim the title. Auburn defeated Mississippi State in the semifinals and then went on to beat Florida in the championship game. The Gators had upset Alabama in the quarterfinals to reach the title game.

Auburn, led by dominant player Johni Broome, finished with a 13-5 record in SEC play and is expected to bring back five of their top seven players for the upcoming 2024-25 season. This positions the Tigers as strong contenders to defend their title under coach Pearl, although tough competition is expected from teams like Alabama and Tennessee. The departure of John Calipari to Arkansas adds uncertainty to the mix, making Kentucky and Arkansas potential wild cards in the conference. As speculation grows about who will replace Calipari in Lexington, the Kentucky next coach odds reveal a number of intriguing possibilities.
