Arkansas Wins SEC Title, Vanderbilt Stuns Florida

0:00On March 15, Arkansas claimed the SEC men's basketball tournament title on Sunday, beating Vanderbilt 86-75 in Nashville. It marched their first conference championship since 2000, ending a long drought with strong play from freshman Darius A. Cove Jr., who scored 30 points and dished out 11 assists. Vanderbilt had a hot run, knocking off top-seated Florida in the semi-final Saturday, 91-74. The Commodores led nearly the entire game, building a 13-point halftime edge that only grew. Florida entered the weekend as regular season champs, riding an 11-game win streak and their first SEC title since 2014. But after a national championship last year, this stumble snapped their momentum and might drop them from the top NCAA seedline. The Razerbacks got key shots down the stretch from Trevon, Brazil, including back-to-back threes and a big block that sealed the win.

1:00A. Cove earned tournament MVP honors for his standout performance. With the SEC tournament in the books, all eyes now turn to Selection Sunday and the start of March Madness next week.
