SEC Basketball Primer: Can Anyone Catch Kentucky?

Filed under: , , , , , , , , , , ,

A new year is upon us and It's the time of year when football games come with the most laughable sponsors since your T-ball team. Both of which means it time to pay attention to college basketball. Our staff of writers and bloggers catches you up conference by conference and tells you what to expect in conference play. FanHouse blogger Evan Hilbert previews the SEC.

The 2010-11 SEC is stacked with teams. Unfortunately, outside of Kentucky, it's not stacked with a lot of talented teams.

Hyperbole aside, the Wildcats are the heavy favorite heading into conference play, and unless someone gets very good very fast, they will not be seriously challenged. Besides the mainstays -- Tennessee, UK, and Florida -- there really is little else. Very little else. Early season losses to the likes of Presbyterian and Oakland have marred the conference's image to this point.

Hey, maybe that all changes, but it's doubtful.

Best Team: Kentucky, and it's not very close. This isn't due to the Wildcats being a superpower, it's just everyone else is so far below them. They will struggle with Florida, Tennessee, Vanderbilt, and Georgia -- all of whom they play twice -- but they should coast to a second consecutive conference championship.
