Matt McMahon and the No. 16 seeded LSU Tigers will square off against the Kentucky Wildcats on Wednesday in a first round matchup in the SEC Tournament.

After a challenging regular season for McMahon and the Tigers, LSU will look to put a unique 2025-26 campaign behind them heading into postseason play with Kentucky up first on the docket.

"I have absolutely nothing but gratitude, appreciation for this opportunity. With 30 years experience, I also understand what comes with the job from an expectation standpoint. I share in the disappointment and frustration that we haven't gotten the results we wanted to this last two months. That's my responsibility," McMahon said. 

The SEC Tournament will kickoff on Wednesday at 11:30 a.m. CT at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville (Tenn.) with the LSU Tigers up first on the schedule. What does this year's bracket look like?
