Alabama

This is not the second best team in the league despite what the standings say, but they continue to do what they have to do to stay in the hunt.--Alabama Basketball Blog

Arkansas

Big home wins over Florida and Missouri may suggest a strong finish, but they have to prove the road win at Auburn wasn't a fluke.--Alabama Basketball Blog

Auburn

Congratulations Auburn. You're so crummy that even Arkansas can beat you at home.--Chicken Hoops

Florida

If you asked me to pick a higher scoring margin: Florida versus the second-best SEC team, or that second-best team versus South Carolina, I’d pick the first game. That’s how much better Florida is than everyone else.--Chicken Hoops

Georgia

Questionable calls by the officials may have cost UGA a big win in Oxford.--Alabama Basketball Blog

Kentucky

Was Nerlens Noel really *that* good?--Georgia Sports Blog

LSU

LSU continues to be hot, and picked up another couple of wins. They could very well finish with a double bye with the way they are playing, especially at home.--And the Valley Shook

Mississippi St.

Big game in Columbia, SC coming up for the chance to get out of this spot. Remember when these guys started SEC play 2-0?--Chicken Hoops

Ole Miss

The Rebels are playing themselves out of the tournament. Their resume can only get worse with losses, so they need at least 5 of 6 to finish.--And the Valley Shook

Missouri

Despite their struggles on the road, I still feel this team is the second best when all is said and done.--Alabama Basketball Blog

South Carolina

Remember when the Gamecocks beat Arkansas by twenty points? Let's go ahead and give that the Aberration of the Year award.--Chicken Hoops

Tennessee

It's way too late to be thinking NCAA tournament, but a dismantling of Kentucky may allow for a late NIT run.--And the Valley Shook

Texas A&M

In a conference marked by inconsistency, these guys take home first prize.--Alabama Basketball Blog

Vanderbilt

Despite going through a heavy rebuilding year, this team remains competitive most nights.--Alabama Basketball Blog
