Only four teams are left standing in the SEC Tournament, and the 6-seeded Florida Gators (23-10) are one of them.

After defeating the 11-seeded Georgia Bulldogs (17-16) on Thursday night, the Gators stayed hot, defeating the 3-seeded Alabama Crimson Tide (21-11) on Friday night 102-88.

The matchup stayed close for most of the first half, until the Gators went on a 27-8 run to close out the quarter and go into the half up 15.

The Gators continued to play well in the second half, leading by as much as 24, and eventually claiming the 14-point victory.

The scoring for Florida was led by junior guard Walter Clayton Jr., who had 23 points while also shooting a perfect 11-11 from the free throw line.

Alongside Clayton Jr., SEC All-First Team senior guard Zyon Pullin added 19 points, while fellow senior forward Tyrese Samuel had 18.

Off the Gator bench, freshman forward Alex Condon had 12 points. Also off the bench, freshman forward Thomas Haugh played some key minutes, scoring seven points and grabbing nine rebounds for Florida.

On the Alabama side, it was senior guard Mark Sears who unsurprisingly led the way. He had 22 points.

Senior guard Aaron Estrada added another 17 points, while senior forwards Nick Pringle and Grant Nelson had 12 and 11 points respectively.

The win was the Gators second victory over Alabama in March, and places the Gators the second semifinal matchup of the SEC Tournament tomorrow afternoon.

Their opponent will be the 7-seeded Texas A&M Aggies (20-13), who are fresh off a massive upset against the 2-seeded Kentucky Wildcats (23-9).

That win put the Aggies in a great spot to make the 68-team March Madness field, but they would obviously guarantee their spot if they won the conference.

On the other side of the tournament, the 4-seeded Auburn Tigers (25-7) will matchup against the 9-seeded Mississippi State Bulldogs (21-12), who defeated the 1-seeded Tennessee Volunteers (24-8) earlier Friday.

The two winners will then face off at 1 p.m. on Sunday to determine who will walk into March Madness the SEC Champion, and the momentum that comes with it.
