SEC hoops is in better shape than last time tournament went to Tampa

Heading into the postseason, SEC basketball is in supreme shape. The league should have four top-four seeds on Selection Sunday with both Alabama and LSU having top-25 resumes.

The conference may get just six teams into the NCAA Tournament, but throughout the season this has been the best league in college basketball thanks to an elite upper half. Due to that quality depth, we could be in for a wild SEC Tournament in Tampa this weekend.

That was 100 percent not the case the last time the conference held its postseason tournament in the Sunshine State.
