I’ve been quiet about my thoughts on the state of the SEC basketball early this season, mostly because firing off takes based on a couple of games against bad teams is generally a fool’s errand. But two weeks in, we have enough to form some coherent thoughts about the state of the conference. I’m going to start by running everyone down in alphabetical order.
Alabama (4-0): I’m not worried about the Tide getting taken to the wire by South Alabama last Tuesday; South Alabama is currently #232 in KenPom but they’re a team with a bunch of power-conference transfers and KenPom probably just hasn’t quite caught up.
