SEC basketball is often described as Kentucky and everybody else.
But several other programs have enjoyed shining moments in March as well.
South Carolina became the seventh SEC school to make the Final Four. Three SEC programs have combined to win 11 NCAA championships.
Those three programs — Kentucky, Arkansas and Florida — also have reached the Final Four in consecutive seasons.
Kentucky has been to the Final Four 17 times, by far the most in the SEC and trailing only North Carolina, which is making its 20th appearance.
Here’s a look at every school’s Final Four history.
