UA men aren't trying to meet expectations

It wasn't surprising Wednesday to find out that media covering SEC Basketball Media Days in Charlotte, N.C., picked the Arkansas Razorbacks men's team to finish 11th.

It wouldn't have been a total shock if the Hogs had been picked last, but the media seemed to think Missouri (No. 14), Alabama (No. 13) and Tennessee (No. 12) will be worse.

Perhaps it should be noted that Alabama and Tennessee have new coaches and Missouri will too unless the Tigers get it together this season, which they might with the addition of Steve Shields as the top assistant responsible for breaking down opponent game film, something he is great at doing.
