We're 3/4 of the way through the regular season, and I still can't tell.

UF and Arkansas and Kentucky and Vanderbilt seem like the best teams, and maybe Alabama. Maybe UT? A&M should have won that game in Knoxville. But it's just so hard to know, and each of those teams have some mystifying losses.

A&M was expected to be maybe the second worst team in the league, and I still don't think we have the talent to make any kind of serious run. We're just too small.

Maybe everybody in the leage sucks this year?

Lots of good teams, but no great teams.

No one has really impressed me at all in our conference this season. Still a ways to go. February is when teams that have a run in them typically coalesce for that stretch haul.

Arkansas is slowly getting it together, It’s not certain yet, but if they do they are elite and the only SEC team with a chance to be elite.

A&M looks good. Should be at least a 2 seed right now.

But no one is asking for Murphologogy so..

This. I think any team in the SEC could beat any mid top 25 team on any given day, or lose to any top 50 team on any given day... but no one in the conference is beating Arizona.

They def have the highest potential of any team in the SEC. They need to learn to be consistent every game and not take a night off here and there. The talent at every postion is there.

A&M is massively undersized in the frontcourt. Teams with large atletic front courts like Florida, Arky, Tennessee, and even Texas will expose them. With that said, Bucky has done a great job.

I agree, massively undersized. Florida Arky might have no problem.

And yet A&M took Tennessee to overtime in Knoxville and beat Texas in Austin.

Go figure.

Arkansas has too many flaws to be elite.

Texas had the chance to do that about a week ago in Austin, but got their arse beat.

And Tennessee beat them in double overtime in Knoxville, but only because A&M went 3-7 from the free throw line with a two possession lead down the stretch in regulation. Tennessee was lucky to get it to overtime.
