Even though traditionally, the SEC Tournament has resembled an invitational hosted by the Kentucky Wildcats, the Alabama Crimson Tide has performed admirably in these events. The Wildcats own won it 32 times if their 1988 victory that was vacated is taken into account. The No. 2 SEC team, Alabama, has eight SEC Tournament victories. With five SEC Tournament victories, Tennessee leads Florida (4 wins) and Mississippi State (3 wins).
The SEC Tournament has been won twice by Auburn, Vanderbilt, Ole Miss, and Georgia. Together with Georgia Tech, a former SEC member, Arkansas and LSU have each won one SEC Tournament. Here is a list of all the SEC Tournament Champions. The inaugural SEC Tournament was won by Kentucky, under the direction of the illustrious Adolph Rupp. in 1933. In 1934, Hank Crisp led the Alabama Crimson Tide to victory in the SEC Tournament.
1935 saw the absence of the SEC Tournament. In 1936, the competition resumed, and it did so until the 1952 season.
In 1979, the SEC Tournament returned, and Tennessee emerged victorious after defeating Kentucky in overtime. In 1982, the tournament moved to Rupp Arena in Kentucky, after three years in Birmingham. Ennis Whatley’s Alabama surprised the Big Blue Nation by defeating the Cats 48–46. Wimp Sanderson won his first of five SEC Tournament Championships with it.
