1 |
Kentucky Wildcats |
24-1 (9-1) | 2 | 2 | 11 |
5 |
Passed all their big tests so far. Still a few left before the conference tournament. |
2 |
Vanderbilt Commodores |
19-5 (8-2) | 17 | 19 | 31 | 21 | Jermaine Beal playing like a senior. Vandy leads the country in FTRate (FTA/FGA), due to aggressive offense. Top 10 in 2FG% and eFG% doesn't hurt, either. |
3 |
Tennessee Volunteers |
18-6 (6-4) | 20 | 18 | 32 | 20 | Need to put tough week behind them and to regroup. Still in very good shape. |
4 | Mississippi St. Bulldogs | 18-7 (6-4) | 31 | X | 39 | 48 | Big game vs. Kentucky Tuesday is the only remaining "L" Kenpom has penciled in for the Bulldogs currently. |
5 |
Mississippi Rebels |
17-7 (5-5) | X | X | 42 | 38 | Three home games in a row should help provide opportunity to get back in the SEC West race. |
6 | Florida Gators | 17-8 (6-4) | X | X | 54 | 46 | Why did they schedule Xavier during the middle of conference season. That's the type of game you surround with cupcakes earlier in the year. |
7 | Arkansas Razorbacks |
13-12 (6-4) | X | X | 93 | 107 | Courtney Fortson making Arkansas a factor in the West. |
8 |
South Carolina Gamecocks |
14-10 (5-5) | X | X | 78 | 73 | Not looking good when Alabama is the only remaining "W" Kenpom has penciled in currently. Is it possible for Devan Downey to start giving more than 100%? |
9 |
Alabama Crimson Tide |
14-11 (4-7) | X | X | 73 | 82 | Things aren't necessarily going well when two of your four conference wins are against LSU. |
10 |
Georgia Bulldogs |
11-12 (3-7) | X | X | 88 | 93 | How is it possible to beat Vandy, Tennessee, and South Carolina while going 0-fer against the SEC West? Georgia proving them wrong on so many different levels. |
11 |
Auburn Tigers |
12-13 (3-7) | X | X | 105 | 125 | Still theoretically in the SEC West race. Unfortunately that isn't really saying anything at this point. |
12 |
LSU Tigers |
9-16(0-11) | X | X | 199 | 198 | Yikes. I've said it once and I'll say it again. Poor Tasmin Mitchell. |
