Did Houstonever go winless in the SEC?

Whoever Missouri’s Coach is this year has to high on the list for going winless in the SEC.

Houston did not go winless in the SEC...but, the SEC (top to bottom) wasn't what one might call a Powerhouse of the Power Conferences. Here is how many teams the SEC sent to the NCAA Tournament in Houston's 5 seasons at UT...vs how many they have sent in Gates' 2 seasons at Missouri:

1994 - 4
1993 - 4
1992 - 4
1991 - 5
1990 - 3

2024 - 8
2023 - 8

Sure...in 1990 and 1991, there were only 10 SEC teams...but from 1992 on there were 12.

In 1994, Tennessee went 5 and 22...compared to Missouri's 8-24 this season.

Missouri's best wins this season were over:
19-15 Minnesota
22-11 Pitt


In 1994...Tennessee had 1 win over a team that was over .500...that was 14-13 (7-9) Ole Miss. Their other 4 wins were over:

5-22 Tennessee Martin
5-24 Mercer
11-17 Auburn
10-21 Tennessee Tech

So...the teams Tennessee had wins over were a combined 45-97 (.317).

This season's Missouri wins were over:
13-18 Arkansas Pine Bluff
17-16 SIU Edwardsville
19-15 Minnesota
14-18 South Carolina State
7-25 Loyola MD
22-11 Pitt
15-19 Wichita St.
9-23 Central Arkansas

These opponents had a combined record of: 116-145 (.444).
