Tennessee, which earned a share of the SEC regular season championship with Kentucky and went on to win the SEC Tournament, is the No. 1 overall seed in the bracket. The Wildcats are the No. 2 overall seed, and Texas A&M rounds out the top three.
After a slow start, defending champion LSU qualified for the NCAA Tournament this season. The Tigers rode their offense to the SEC Tournament championship game despite entering the conference tournament as a No. 11 seed. Florida State in 2023 missed the ACC Tournament and the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 1977 but earned a top-eight seed after reaching the ACC Tournament championship game.
