Some bracketologists believe Memphis will be an 8-seed. Others see it as a 7. And there are others still who continue to contend the Tigers are a 6-seed. Beyond that, uncertainty lingers over whether or not the result of Sunday's AAC tournament title game will help or hurt the Tigers' position.

Florida is the 2025 SEC tournament champion. The Gators defeated Tennessee 86-77 in Sunday's title game of the SEC men's basketball tournament at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville. The second-seeded Gators and fourth-seeded Volunteers were each eyeing a conference crown and perhaps a No.

Madness is off to a sour start for the Auburn Tigers. Bruce Pearl's squad fell in the SEC Tournament semifinals on Saturday to Tennessee for its third loss over its last four games since the calendar flipped to March.

PJ Haggerty carried Memphis, scoring a career-high 42 points on an afternoon where the Tigers had very little offensive production outside of Haggerty and Dain Dainja. The win means Memphis advances to the semifinals on Saturday and will face either FAU or Tulane.

Haggerty, the AAC player of the year, put the Tigers (28-5) ahead to stay with two free throws that made it 72-71 with 40 seconds left. He finished with 18 points.
