The Texas Longhorns were among the last four teams to make the NCAA Tournament, which was announced Sunday.

With the inclusion of Texas (19-15), which had a net rank of 39, the SEC set a tournament record with 14 teams representing the conference, breaking the previous record by three teams. The highest prior mark was the Big East’s 11 bids in 2011.

Auburn (28-5) will be the top seed in the South Region and will face the Alabama State-St. Francis winner in Thursday’s first round in Lexington, Kentucky.

Other conference which earned multiple bids:

• Big Ten 8
• Big 12 7
• Big East 5
• ACC 4
• Mountain West 4
• West Coast 2

Auburn won the SEC regular-season championship. Meanwhile, Florida beat Tennessee for the SEC tournament championship on Sunday.

• No. 1 seeds – Auburn and Florida
• No. 2 seeds – Alabama and Tennessee
• No. 3 seed – Kentucky
• No. 4 seed – Texas A&M

On Saturday, SEC commissioner Greg Sankey had a message for his teams headed to the NCAA tournament.

“Last year, Garth Glissman, our associate commissioner for men’s basketball, went through all the foul calls for every team for the first, second, third, fourth round into the Final Four where we had teams in the NCAA tournament,” Sankey said. “We put the data in front of our coaches. Higher foul count and higher technical foul count, which means you have to manage yourself physically and mentally.

“That’s part of the message going into next week. Manage yourself physically, emotionally and mentally.”
