re: 2013-2014 Ole Miss non-conference basketball schedule

Can Mississippi State get any worse?

Ole Miss will probably have a drop off without Holloway and Buckner. LSU should be better with JOB returning and pulling a really solid class. Alabama is a dumpster fire right now, but they weren't all that great last season either. A&M will be about the same. Arkansas will likely improve. Auburn will likely be about the same.

I think you see some improvement in the old West division. The East will be strong though. Tennessee should be solid and will have Maynard returning with strength in the post to go with Stokes. Florida is bringing in a good class and they'll be very good. I think we'll be significantly improved from last season. Mizzou won't be as strong as last season but still decent. South Carolina will be improved in Martin's 2nd year IMO. Georgia will hurt without KCP. Vanderbilt made a strong push at the end of the season and is returning everyone so they'll be improved.

The conference will be improved as a whole.
