# List of Southeastern Conference men's basketball champions

This short description is INTENTIONALLY "none" &#x2D; please see WP:SDNONE before you consider changing it! Below is a list of SEC Men's Basketball Champions and Award Winners.

## Champions and Award Winners

Official SEC champions in bold. From 1933 to 1952, except 1935, the SEC only awarded a championship to the winner of the conference tournament. In 1935 and from 1953 to 1978, the SEC did not hold a conference tournament and awarded its championship and the conference's berth in the NCAA Tournament to the team with the best conference winning percentage. Since 1979, the SEC has held a conference tournament but continues to award the SEC Championship to the team with the best conference winning percentage. The winner of the tournament is declared SEC Tournament Champions and awarded the conference's berth in the NCAA Tournament.
For the years when the SEC held the conference tournament and did not officially award a regular season champion, this table uses the modern definition of the regular season championship of having the best winning percentage.
