The 2021 Southeastern Conference Tournament bracket was released on Sunday, with the Florida Gators earning a No. 5 seed and a first-round bye after losing its last two games of the season against the Missouri Tigers and Tennessee Volunteers, respectively.
The seeding comes as no surprise after Sunday’s disappointing loss and has UF facing the winner of the matchup between the Texas A&M Aggies and Vanderbilt Commodores in the First Round. The second-round game will take place on Thursday starting 25 minutes after the No. 8 seed Kentucky Wildcats and No. 9 seed Mississippi State Bulldogs duke it out at 11 a.m. EST.
