SEC Tournament Preview: Favorites and Intriguing Upsets

Virginia’s ACC Undefeated Season and National Spotlight

“I have no fucking clue. Like, if you look at all 10 of these teams, it really does feel like, well, who wants to be here on Friday? Who wants to be here till Saturday? I swear to God that's going to make a difference.”
