The SEC looks like the bottom of the pack when it comes to college basketball, but I have an interesting theory that might make this season seem a little more promising. I propose that it's really not that bad.
Kentucky, my Wildcats, began the season playing like a team that had butter for fingers, considering their dismal turnover rate. What was it, like 30 turnovers in the North Carolina game? But, thanks to Meeks's amazing play, did you see the Tennessee perfomance, Gillispie's team is looking a bit like the Kentucky of yore. Ten 3-pointers in one game....over 50 points. Meeks gives this die-hard UK fan a glimmer of hope for the Cats.
Arkansas. I know they're 0-and whatever in SEC play, but they beat the highly ranked Oklahoma and Texas teams in the same week.... So maybe, just maybe, since Arkansas has dropped 5 straight, including being blownout by Auburn, the SEC is tougher than once thought. I mean this is the same team that beat some tough non-conference opponents and looked like they might be poised to make a tournament run.....
I'm just saying...While Florida is the only ranked SEC team currently, surely Kentucky can't be far behind, and if given a chance to play in the tournament, who says an SEC team couldn't make a run?
