The SEC showdown has already been viewed as the "game of the weekend" with fans across America eyeing the battle between the top two seeds remaining.

"They're the most talented team in the country. There’s no question about that. And that was addressed when we played ’em the first time. And I think this is just — the postseason, again we go back to how we approach every game is like a postseason game. I think that really helps us," Johnson said this week.

"It’s just a great opponent. Like, this whole entire season, if we were gonna get to where we wanted to go, there was no question in my mind whether we would play them or not. I felt like this was inevitable, whether it was gonna be Game 1 or the finals. So just do it in Game 1.”
