Two teams are left standing in the SEC Men’s Basketball Tournament, and today’s clash between the two is fascinating from several angles.
Both No. 8 Florida and No. 4 Tennessee — who split two matchups in the regular season — are among the favorites to reach the Final Four in San Antonio a few weeks from now.
But first, they meet in a must-see battle in the SEC Championship Game today at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville.
The lines opened at Florida -4.5 at most sportsbooks, but the Gators (29-4, 14-4 SEC) are now favored by 5.5 points across the board over the Volunteers (27-6, 12-6 SEC).How to Watch Tennessee vs. Florida

Florida and Tennessee are two of the deepest teams in the country. That’s a big reason they’re No. 8 and No. 4 in the country, respectively, but it makes it difficult to pinpoint the best player prop bets for either of these teams.
One player who consistently puts up numbers for Florida, even when he plays less than 30 minutes, is 6-foot-11 sophomore F Alex Condon. He has recorded at least eight boards in 20 of 29 games where he got a normal workload (excluding his one-minute cameo vs. Mississippi State on Feb. 11).
His athleticism makes him a menace on the boards, hence his average of 7.
