Not in the SEC. In 2000, Arkansas was the first SEC team to play everyday and win the tournament. There were only 12 teams and there were only 4 days. Arkansas was the 3 seed from the west and the beat the 6 seed from the East Georgia. Then they beat the 2 seed from the east, UK. Then they beat the 1st seed from the West in LSU. Then they beat the western 2 seed Auburn in the championship.

That Cuse team was so sooo good. They were by far the hottest team in b-ball that year. What ever happened to then in the big dance?

Beat me to it. Since they were the 9 seed, they had to play the 16, then the 8 (who got a bye I think), and then started the quarterfinals with the 1 seed Pitt and the rest was history.
Ended up winning 11 straight postseason games to win the national title, which also has to be some sort of record.
My God the Big East was on another level that year.

The only time I could think of something close was when Georgia had their miracle run in 2008. Ended up getting a 14-seed bc of it, which I think might be the only time in the 64 or 68-team format history where a power conference school had a seed that high.
They ALMOST beat the 3-seed in the first round too. I think it was Xavier, but I could be mistaken

Espn did a story about UGA worst seed winning SEC tournament. In Atlanta during a flood or something.
Not sure how many games they won.

I remember that. They had Felton as their coach I think and it was a tornado that hit the gym or something. They didn't win 5 games though.
Entering the 2008 SEC Men's Basketball Tournament as the lowest seed, Georgia won 4 games in 3 days to capture the conference tournament crown and the corresponding automatic berth in the 2008 NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament. In their first NCAA Tournament appearance since 2002, the Bulldogs were defeated by Xavier University in the first round in Washington, D.C..

Yup, tornado hit Atlanta and forced a bunch of the games to be played over an insanely short amount of time.
Georgia won like 4 games over 3 days and then somehow won the conference title after sucking wang all year. That will be the height of Georgia basketball this century.
edit: corrected facts

Yes, UConn did and continued their run to the natty. Beat us in the title game 56-55 in one ugly arse ball game.
