The 2026 SEC Tournament title game is set. No. 3 seed Arkansas will face No. 4 seed Vanderbilt for the title on Sunday in Nashville after each secured wins in their respective semifinal games on Saturday.
Vanderbilt began Saturday with a huge 81-74 upset win over No. 1 seed Florida. The Gators were the reigning SEC champions and were in line to earn a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament before the loss. Vanderbilt will be playing for its first SEC Tournament title since 2012.
Arkansas advanced to the title game for the first time in the John Calipari era with a 93-90 win in overtime over No. 15 seed Ole Miss. The Rebels were the story of the SEC Tournament after becoming the second team to win three games to advance to the semifinals. Ole Miss entered the weekend having not trailed in each of its first three games against Texas, Georgia and Alabama.
Arkansas’ last SEC Tournament title came in 2000. Calipari’s last conference tournament title came in 2018 when he was at Kentucky.
