Here is the order for the entire conference:
1 Oklahoma 1939
2 Texas 1939
3 Arkansas 1941
4 Kentucky 1942
5 Missouri 1944
6 Texas A&M 1951
7 LSU 1953
8 Mississippi State 1963
9 Vanderbilt 1965
10 Tennessee 1967
11 South Carolina 1971
12 Alabama 1975
13 Ole Miss 1981
14 Georgia 1983
15 Auburn 1984
16 Florida 1987
Underlined teams were in the SEC at the time they made their first appearance. This means that LSU was only the second SEC team to appear in the tournament when they did so in 1953. It also shows that five of the six teams added since 1992 made the tournament before the second SEC team did so.
Except for the 80s & 90s and now, the SEC isn't a basketball conference.
GEAUX TIGERS!

State would have made it earlier if not for state politics/racism. We had won the SEC three other times before 1963 and had to sneak out of the state to play in 1963.

OM had to win the SEC Tournament to make it in 1981. Their first bid earned from the regular season was not until 1997. They made it a bunch of times after that
