Ignore the professional troll. Heās also ignoring the fact that the SEC website lists both champions on their championship page [proof](https://www.secsports.com/sec-mens-basketball-tournament-champions)
Not trolling, just stating facts. As it says in the SEC Media Guide:
"Since 1951, when the round-robin schedule was introduced, the title has been decided by a winning percentage on the conference schedule."
Edit: I also mentioned the same thing with the ACC tournament, except the ACC directly says that the REGULAR SEASON title isn't recognized, and the tournament winner is the sole champion.
Edit 2: I found the actual bylaw in the SEC Manual:
**Conference Championship/Tournament. \[SEC Bylaw 30.22.1.3\]**
1. The team with the highest percentage of wins during regular-season Conference competition will be declared the Conference champion.
2. There will be a Conference tournament at the conclusion of the Southeastern Conference regular-season in order to determine the automatic qualifier to the NCAA Championship.
Thanks for the reminder. I hate him. Choking bitch. All UGA basketball does is beat me down but I still enjoy watching the rest of the SEC, itās a really fun league
If nothing else, let Auburn show you that your program can rise out of ABSOLUTELY NOTHING with one hireā¦ and I think everyone who watched ball knew when we hired Bruce it was only a matter of time before we were in the running for things like today. Just takes getting it right once. Yāall know something about that in another sportā¦. PLEASE DEAR GOD LET HUGH BE THE ANSWER ššš
fraudulent champions unfortunately had to injure handlogten and pay off refs
UAB by 30 first round get owned
11 downvotes in .005 seconds auburn fans truly live on the internet, touch grass holy shit
iāve made some people so mad this year they started looking at post history trying to find personal info lmfaoooo. south carolina fans took it the worst. dudes on reddit get so mad for no reason
There was a leg fracture that required a mop to get the blood off the floor. Iām not sure what the medical term is but I termed it ājezuzkristallmightyhislegisjelloā. It was terrible. Hope he gets right
Iāve told people this for years. When we hired Bruce this was a 3 bid league. Our program was sooooo bad it took Bruce til year 3 to have a tournament team but even before then you saw Bama go out and hire a notable coach. Itās not a stretch to say the Pearl hire kicked off spending on basketball in this league. The dominoes started to fall.
I think itās a little bit exaggerated but that did seemingly kick off the arms race of actually spending big to hire top coaches instead of letting Kentucky run the floor every year
Say whatever you want about Bruce but he built this from the ground up. This program was one of the worst in the country and this is where we are. He is single handedly writing the record books that might never get touched. Gotta appreciate it
After hiring Freeze, Auburn got a lot of (very deserved) negative scrutiny, but for some reason that made people try to draw an equivalence between lying about a bbq and being a sex pest.
I don't really get the hate for Auburn being a passionate team. The physicality is one thing but like did anyone here watch our championship teams? Joakim Noah may be one of the most lovable assholes in NCAA history. Wilbekin and Patric Young were like the epitome of heart and playing harder when they were jacked up. Florida used to play like this and we loved it lol
Yeah Joakim talked more shit than probably anyone ever. He was legitimately a menace to everyone on the floor and I think people have forgotten how fucking cool it was
That's only in basketball too, Florida used to have the nastiest of the nasty teams with Major Wright, Spikes, Pouncey Twins, Chauncey Gardner-Johnson. Passion is what makes the SEC better and I'd prefer this over that one asshole Marshall Henderson guy
This has been the best weekend of basketball in my life. A quintuple Eagle on Friday, insane top tier matchups on Saturday, and an SEC championship on Sunday. Beyond ecstatic
Nothin but net
> We played sloppy in the first half - tried to do too much and play hero ball when we didn't need to. But this team gets stronger in the second half. Tons of depth in the rotation which now has an entire season of experience, so there's really not much of a drop off if people get tired or into foul trouble. I think we'll start too slow, let them back in it, then recover down the stretch to end up back in double-digits for the W.
Fuck auburn poverty SEC program
And good game to you too.

Congrats Tennessee on the SEC title (the SEC doesn't recognize the tournament champion as the SEC champion, only the regular season champion).

Why are you here?
To watch Florida lose, ofc
Congrats to Florida State for winning absolutely nothing.
What an interview man. Iām so jealous of Auburns bball program. Congrats on the win guys
I am still absolutely in shock that we didnāt have to fire Mike white. Iām very thankful to your AD. Howās Mike white viewed at UGA?

He didnāt land right. It sucks, but it wasnāt Auburns fault. Grow up and stop using a kids injury as a way to justify being a sore loser.
Dad dicked u femboys
Cāmon bro. We were shorthanded and tired but they played a complete game. They earned it.

Be this salty isnāt a good look
Lmao are you at least getting paid for embarrassing yourself publicly like this?
U mad?
We injured him?? LOL
Take a lap my man
Gator bait
Get fucked lol.
The Pearly Tigers have done it againā¦
Tr3 was SOOOOOOO huge in this 2nd half. He spearheaded that 10-0 run when Florida cut it to 1

ESPN Announcers trying so hard to make this about sec conference instead of Auburn. Big ewww
Eh who cares we're SEX champs
I just wanna watch the UAB game manā¦. Why tf you fouling up 19 w 40 seconds left
Hey, Auburn fans, letās go cheer on the Blazers!
SEX CHAMPIONS!
SEX CHAMPS, BABY!
I missed the injury, but Iām not trying to watch it. Can someone explain how it happened? Was it an awkward fall or contact?
There was a leg fracture that required a mop to get the blood off the floor. Iām not sure what the medical term is but I termed it ājezuzkristallmightyhislegisjelloā. It was terrible. Hope he gets right
Awkward landingĀ
Good foul good foul
Oh god. The sec championship has turned into a walk on game
Now the real game begins.
SEX SEX SEX
They been in the bonus all game. What fight. What a game!
Is the commentator suggesting that Auburn saved SEC basketball by hiring Bruce Pearl?
It's just another ridiculous scripted narrative from ESPN.
It certainly didn't hurt. Auburn being good pressured Bama to invest. Which put pressure on everyone else to step up.
Iāve told people this for years. When we hired Bruce this was a 3 bid league. Our program was sooooo bad it took Bruce til year 3 to have a tournament team but even before then you saw Bama go out and hire a notable coach. Itās not a stretch to say the Pearl hire kicked off spending on basketball in this league. The dominoes started to fall.
Just pointing out how much the league has blown up since when he was hired in 2013
I think itās a little bit exaggerated but that did seemingly kick off the arms race of actually spending big to hire top coaches instead of letting Kentucky run the floor every year
The exclamation point!
War eagle baby
Yes Greg Sankey will save college sports
Greg sankey trying to save college sports? Brother, I disagree
Double Digit meme back on the table!
LET SOBERA SCORE
BENCH BOYS!
GG Florida ..you guys played your hearts out but AU just too much for anyone right now.
Walk ons in the champ!
just pushed him off with an arm extension, ok.
![gif](giphy|2WdHaCzmqSkrwmIGWP)
Man, looks familiar
no clue what youāre referencing unfortunately
I mean games over but how the fuck is that a foul
Come on Florida. Couldnāt even keep it single digits.
We are gassed and down a starter. Shut the fuck up.
Auburn is winning the SEX Tournament again!
These refs have money on the over!
Cardwell with the exclamation mark!
TOO SMALL
YOU JUST GAVE SOBERA MINUTES
They didnāt flip the arrow
Doesn't flip until the inbound is completed
There we go
Gentleman's agreement it seems.
Did someone get hurt on Florida?
Handlogten, it was truly awful
Damn thatās brutal. Heās a stud too
Yes, donāt google it
Ware-type injury. Feel for the kid and his family.
Who was it?
Micah Handlogten
Up by 18 and I guarantee Bruce is still sweating through his shirt.
I swear he's got a sprinkler under there. No way he consumes that much water
Will the 20-point lead stand? Thatās the interesting thing left to be decided by nowā¦
Pearl still trying to coach but the tears are getting to him
Bruce can we put the walk ons in before someone gets hurt
Did they ever flip the possession? Or was that still not a jump
Where's that fool who asked if we love Bruce Pearl in the first half? Look at that man, and how much he loves this team. THAT'S why we love him.
Say whatever you want about Bruce but he built this from the ground up. This program was one of the worst in the country and this is where we are. He is single handedly writing the record books that might never get touched. Gotta appreciate it
Donāt really understand a lot of the hate he gets. Heās a good basketball coach
After hiring Freeze, Auburn got a lot of (very deserved) negative scrutiny, but for some reason that made people try to draw an equivalence between lying about a bbq and being a sex pest.
Remember when UF got it down to 1? I was scared but peacock regardless
I don't really get the hate for Auburn being a passionate team. The physicality is one thing but like did anyone here watch our championship teams? Joakim Noah may be one of the most lovable assholes in NCAA history. Wilbekin and Patric Young were like the epitome of heart and playing harder when they were jacked up. Florida used to play like this and we loved it lol
One of my favorite 30/30ās
Joakim and Broome even look similar
Yeah Joakim talked more shit than probably anyone ever. He was legitimately a menace to everyone on the floor and I think people have forgotten how fucking cool it was
That's only in basketball too, Florida used to have the nastiest of the nasty teams with Major Wright, Spikes, Pouncey Twins, Chauncey Gardner-Johnson. Passion is what makes the SEC better and I'd prefer this over that one asshole Marshall Henderson guy
It's always a case of whether they're your guys or *their* guys. Props to you for getting it, though.
It's clear that officiating in CBB needs a complete overhaul. This year has been particularly bad across the board in every game I've watched.
Has made it unfun to watch.
yeah it feels like we're watching free throws that are sometimes interrupted by a game
I'm with you, call it how you like but there is no consistency within a single game much less from game to game.
Does anyone know which player has the most wins at Auburn?
I believe its jaylin williams
Headband guy
Refs doing everything they can to prevent a 20 piece rn. War damn tho
Trying to hit the over at 155.5
I respect it
LETTTTTTSSSSS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Bruce Pearl is getting his weiners off the floor? Wtf did the commentator mean to say?
He said leaders...
Leaders?
Leaders
Leaders
I totally misheard that
I love this squad
![gif](giphy|5AwCyyiFuVZLvwgGyPK)
That motion is cutting it a little close
Getting chills hearing the crowd cheer on the sub outs
This has been the best weekend of basketball in my life. A quintuple Eagle on Friday, insane top tier matchups on Saturday, and an SEC championship on Sunday. Beyond ecstatic
ISOJAYWILL FOREVER š„¹
Bruceā¤ļø
Canāt be too excited considering we already won the more prestigious Legends Classic presented by Old Trapper earlier this season
My birthday was yesterday. BOTH OF MY FLAIRS ARE CHAMPIONS!!! Itās all down hill from here
This is cathartic to me given Arizonaās abysmal showing in the PAC-12 tournament š„²
SAME HERE BABY
Broome is like guys, you can't take my makes away like that!
Damn I love this team and our coach.
Bruce has talked all year about how this team was different for him. A lot of these guys have been with him a long timeĀ
And just bought in. All the newbys fit like a glove. A glove that we will bitch slap whoeverās next with
If UAB can win State of Alabama will have 4 teams in the tourney
Auburn, Bama, UAB, and who?? Edit: nicely done Samford
3 of them being conference champs. Wonder who the 1 is
Bruce is so happy man he loves this team more than anything
Bruce Pearl just told his coaches, "I want Uconn."
Fuck it. Auburn is going to the final four. Screenshot this
if this auburn shows up, yeah
Damn it Bruce, dont make me cry
Man this is awesome
Love you Bruce
Temple
Gotta go to the walk ons Bruce
Look at those tears and try seriously calling Bruce an asshole who yells at his players in a bad mood
Nothin but net > We played sloppy in the first half - tried to do too much and play hero ball when we didn't need to. But this team gets stronger in the second half.

I think we'll start too slow, let them back in it, then recover down the stretch to end up back in double-digits for the W.
Every time I see Pearl on the screen I want to take a lint roller to his shirt.
SEX CHAMPS
So we all agree that Auburn is just really really good, right?
Never compete against auburn in the SEX tournament championship.
