In recent years, the main storyline for SEC college basketball has been watching Kentucky or Florida (usually both) stomp all over the conference and terrify the rest of the NCAA in the process.
This trend hasn't always carried over to the SEC tournament, with a third-seeded Ole Miss winning the championship in 2013 and and third-seed Vanderbilt doing the same the year before.
The 2015-16 season has proved to be something of a down campaign for the SEC as a whole, making this year's postseason tournament in Nashville, Tennessee, particularly intriguing and incredibly important to those squads looking to play their way into the NCAA tournament.
