KenPom also has all 14 SEC teams in the top 100 and has Missouri as the 2nd worst team in the conference. I'm not as high on Missouri as a lot of people are, but they're definitely not the second worst team...
I think the SEC is a lot better, but I'm always skeptical of some of KenPom's preseason rankings.

Opponent Preview: Texas Arlington
Last Season
27-9 (14-4)
1st in the Sun Belt
NIT Quarterfinalist
Notable games: Won @Texas (11 pts) and @St. Mary's (14 pts), Lost @Arkansas (4 pts) and @Minnesota (17 pts)
RPI: 45
Preseason
107 in Kenpom
Lost 3 starters
Forward Kevin Hervey is reigning Sun Belt POY
Projected as a 12 seed tournament team by many
Projected Lineup
G Erick Neal 5'10" 10.6/3.5/6.6 SR
G Kaelon Wilson 6'2" 8.8/2.8/1.2 SR
G Nathan Hawkins 6'5" 3.8/2.1/0.9 SR
F Kevin Hervey 6'9" - 17.1/8.5/2.1 SR
F Davion Turner 6'9" JR - JC Stats unavailable
Analysis
This game will be a test particularly for our bigs defending on the perimeter. Both Hervey and the new guy Turner can play inside or out and reboot very well. Erick Neal is a good PG who does a very nice job setting up the UTA offense. This team put up 105 on BYU last year. Despite losing 3 starters, they will still be a very dangerous team offensively.
This game seriously worries me. UTA is the type of team that stuns people in March.
*Experience- 4 senior starters
*Star Player- Hervey is a stud
*Offensively dynamic
*Strong enough to not get bullied down low

Tonight's the night we get to see a little glimpse of basketball! I'm assuming I can watch it somewhere on TV or online.

Idk but I have to miss it for a stupid club meeting 
Posted on 10/24/17 at 8:59 am to Teague
It's not on TV. Maybe it's streaming online somewhere, but I haven't heard.
Edit: it's on SEC+

It'll be on SEC Network+ (that's online only)
Posted on 10/24/17 at 9:09 am to Bamafan15
I was thinking I'd seen it advertised somewhere. Roku + SlingTV for the win.

Tide Tipoff has started and is on WatchESPN as stated above!

Is it over?

The men are about the start. They just introduced them.
Avery’s excitement is contagious. So nice to have someone willing to promote and sell the program.

Yea, I tried to watch, but this isn't fun
Posted on 10/24/17 at 8:15 pm to Cobrasize
meh, they look better so I can deal
Posted on 10/24/17 at 8:43 pm to Cobrasize
They started playing a little defense after the first 5 minutes. Avery had to come down to the bench to get it going

Petty shoots lights out from anywhere in the gym.
Posted on 10/24/17 at 8:58 pm to Teague
Petty looks like our best player followed by Sexton. That's the way it's been since day 1. I'm thinking they're both one and done players.

Can anyone sum the tipoff event for someone who had to do homework?
