Yet 2 of the top 3 ranked teams in the SEC lost at home last night?

There are only 3 teams in the SEC with more than 1 home loss. SEC teams are 141-15 at home vs 27-23 on the road. When you factor in most SEC losses happened in conference play.. yeah home court in the SEC is a big deal. it is in college basketball in general but more so here where the competition is high. The talent level difference between Auburn/Tenessee and USCe/Arky is not as big as it is between say Duke/Louisville and BC/Miami. Every team in the SEC is top 100 in NET rating (South Carolina at 94 is the only team not in top 68) . Every other conference has teams in the 100's Miami and BC are 211 and 230 respectively. Seeing that Div1 basketball is comprised of 364 teams it could be argued there are no terrible teams in the SEC unless compared to the other teams in the SEC. Even USCe is rated better than 75% of the rest of the teams in the country.

Context is important. This is a conference with 14 teams no lower than 50 in NET rating.. the margins between those teams is slim. So yeah you will have more upsets than in other conferences.. does not change the fact that home court is huge.

Not too sure about that foul on the three. Down a half, but I believe we rested our players a lot in the last 4 minutes of the half. We win this one by 10-12.

Auburn is unbeaten in SEC Play and Alabama and Ole Miss look elite. I don't think they are going to get beat up too hard. I think Auburn is heading towards overall 1 seed.

Yep, Auburn is the best team , and now it appears that Florida, Bama, Om, Uk, & A&M may be above Tennessee. Vols are to dang inconsistent, look at the 2 halves vs Ga.

We are very inconsistent. We don’t have an elite scorer and if zz doesn’t play it’s very obvious we are at a big disadvantage. Barnes teams seem to go on cold streaks and not score for minutes at a time and when we have an off night the whole team is off not just one guy. I honestly don’t see this team going deep in the tourney. Would not be surprised if we get knocked out in rd of 64 or 32. Very frustrating team to watch.

Which will make it so much sweeter when they bow out early again.

Good Team chalks another loss to a Good Team............yes they had Vandy on their Jersies, but Good non the less. Again, gain from it. Work on it. Get better................A LOT of basketball left!!

Yeah well, with the upcoming SEC games, and Tennessee so inconsistent, they will get beat every time they start so slowly. It'll be like Fla. Not moaning and groaning, just observing the evidence as presented.
