Auburn has been the hottest team in the SEC over the last five years, winning two of the last five conference tournaments. Their previous victories in 2019 and 2024 came with +400 and +250 odds.
Some trends to consider: since the 2017-18 SEC tournament, the winner has finished the regular season with a top-3 point differential. Teams such as Florida, Auburn, and Tennessee appear atop these rankings. Taking a long shot to win the tournament might be an enticing proposition, as a team with +1000 or higher odds has only gone on to win the conference tournament once since 2009-10. That came in 2012-13 with Ole Miss at +1500 odds.
On the flip side, the favorite is usually who ends up taking home the trophy, with seven instances since 2010 of a team with under +150 odds winning the conference tournament.
