| 1 | Kentucky Wildcats |
27-2 (12-2) | 3 | 3 | 10 |
4 |
Cracks in the [under] armor? I certainly didn't expect to hear these "short turnaround" excuses from Cats fans... |
| 2 | Vanderbilt Commodores |
22-6 (11-3) | 13 | 19 | 25 | 19 | Survived UGA while still hungover from loss to UK. Short turnaround not a problem for Dores vs. Razorbacks. |
| 3 | Tennessee Volunteers |
21-7 (9-5) | 16 | 13 | 30 | 21 | Great win over Kentucky. Unfortunately, losing to Florida didn't exactly improve their SEC Tourney seeding. |
| 4 | Florida Gators |
20-9 (9-5) | X | X | 47 | 40 | Tough closing stretch: vs. Vandy and at Kentucky. Does being back on the bubble make them more dangerous? |
| 5 | Mississippi St. Bulldogs |
21-8 (9-5) | 35 | X | 41 | 47 | Swat King coronation celebration: Jarvis Varnado is your new NCAA career blocks leader. |
| 6 | Mississippi Rebels |
19-9 (7-7) | X | X | 51 | 46 | Hey, wha' happen? |
| 7 | Arkansas Razorbacks |
14-15 (7-7) | X | X | 101 | 117 | Not a great week for the Razorbacks. |
| 8 | South Carolina Gamecocks |
14-14 (5-9) | X | X | 87 | 76 | Devan Downey probably still has a few tricks left up his sleeve...but does he have the energy left to use them? |
| 9 | Georgia Bulldogs |
13-14 (5-9) | X | X | 79 | 82 | I guarantee you Kentucky is not looking forward to playing at Georgia. Stegeman is turning into the SEC East house of horrors. |
| 10 | Auburn Tigers |
14-15 (5-9) | X | X | 98 | 118 | The question with no answer: Has Lebo justified being fired or being retained? Does sweeping Bama lock in another season? |
| 11 | Alabama Crimson Tide |
14-14 (4-10) | X | X | 68 | 85 | Two winnable games this week. |
| 12 | LSU Tigers |
10-18 (1-13) | X | X | 187 | 190 | You knew they'd get one. Arkansas drew the short straw. |

I haven't paid much attention in recent years...
…I’ve been paying attention to Vandy but not much to the rest of the league. But when was the last time the East vs West was this lopsided? Is this normal?
"Well, if that ain't a show, I'll kiss your ass." - Gov. Jim Folsom Sr. (D-AL), 1948-52
LSU's downfall really showcased the weakness over there...
In the past few years the East has been stronger, but there had still been some good teams over there – just no real Final Four contenders. This year they’ve fallen off the map entirely.
"SEC East House of Horrors"
I like it. Thanks for the kind words. We welcome any and all signs of hope and bases for optimism.
Mark Fox
I have a feeling he is going to make Georgia forget about that whole Jim Harrick episode. The SEC East is turning into an evil bitch.
He can coach, Yet Another Basketball Blog did a post on biggest improvements in offensive and defensive efficiency
for a first year coach and Mark Fox’s team has the eleventh largest improvement over the last six years (this year’s Kentucky isn’t even in the top twenty). The main question is can he recruit at a higher level than Felton.
If you build it, they will come.
We are hopeful that there’s a tipping point with success. We expect Leslie and Thompkins back next year plus a few others who can get the team more wins. At some point, we hope the program’s being taken seriously will channel some of the ample local talent our way. Geography alone works reasonably well in football and baseball. And if it works in basketball, I hope we can hang onto Fox.
