Default Can the SEC step up this year?
With Arkansas being the first SEC team to be on national television (ESPN2) on Tuesday, this brings up a good question. Will the SEC step it up this year, or will it be another down year for the once great basketball conference? I know there is UT, UK, and Miss St, but (most of) the SEC has looked as sloppy as high school players out there lately. I don't think Arkansas can pull it out, but if we do that would be good for the SEC. We are probably only going to have 10 players plus walk-ons, without Welsh and Forston I believe. We will see, I hope it's a great year for Arkansas and SEC basketball.

I expect Ole Miss to challenge State for if not win the west with all our back court starters back. Which is one of the best in the SEC imo

What's wrong with UT? We return everybody from last season and we were pretty good.

Yeah, I think that some people forget that we have two top 15 teams in the SEC. Oh well, let them forget. They will know when UT plays them.

Vandy is going to be very good too, possibly elite eight good. I think that the league as a whole will be much better than most here are thinking.

Just a first game snafu. Make that player quit quoting his dad and Msu will have a fun season.

As for the sec being down, I think it will be up from last year. Lsu and Auburn needed some talent to come in but I think most have the majority of their players back. The sec was young last year.
