SEC Basketball Week in Review: The SEC Wets Itself
Photo by FilmPublicityArchive/United Archives via Getty ImagesThe Southeastern Conference was definitely challenged in the final edition of the SEC/Big 12 Challenge.
With Vanderbilt among four SEC teams not participating, the SEC went 3-7 against the Big 12 — with two of the wins coming against depleted Big 12 teams. (No, I do not understand why a Big 8 conference game between Iowa State and Missouri was counted; then again, I also do not understand why Vanderbilt-Texas A&M was not counted.) Alabama, widely thought of as the SEC’s best team, went on the road and got pantsed by 24 points. This was not a good showing for anyone involved.
On to the power rankings!
Tennessee (18-3, 7-1)
