How to Watch SEC Tournament Final: No. 1 Alabama vs. No. 2 Texas A&M
Who will win the crown of the Southeastern Conference and earn the title of tournament champion?
Alabama won the regular season, one game ahead of Texas A&M in the standings with a 16-2 conference record. The two teams met in the regular season finale with the Aggies coming away with the win. Now, the two will meet again Sunday afternoon for the SEC Tournament title.
It marks the second straight year the Aggies have reached the championship under Buzz Williams, losing to Tennessee in the finals last season. Nate Oats took the Crimson Tide to the title game in 2021 as the 1-seed and beat LSU in epic fashion. Texas A&M is the one SEC team Oats hasn't beat in his tenure at Alabama.
"These SEC championship games don't come often," Oats said after the win over Missouri. "Last time we were up here was COVID year. Limited amount of fans. I just encourage all the Alabama fans, all you Alabama reporters, let's try to get it out, try to pack this place full of Alabama fans. It's not that far of a drive. Tipping off at noon tomorrow, as many Alabama fans as we can up here to Nashville, support us in the championship tomorrow.
