With only 4 teams in your serious tournament discussion, and two of them being expansion teams, you have to be happy about that expansion. What would SEC hoops be without those two squads?

@kelticreid As a B1G fan, I’ve been saying something very very similar about my conference in football. I really think we could end up seeing a reduction in the resources and scholarships in Olympic sports in the coming years, particularly in the B1G. Like, more than is the case now.

@bpa_kc I hear you. They looked horrible last night at home. Just out of sync. I think Bowers could be available Sat. against Vandy.

I know injuries are a part of the game, but don’t forget that Bama was 2-5 without Steele and has been what? 9-1? with him.

Mizzou certainly doesn’t look like a sure thing when you watch them play, especially not on the road. I’m kind of surprised they are still in the top 25. My only hope as a Mizzou fan is that Bowers gets healthy ASAP… and that all of the Haith stuff isn’t too huge of a distraction.

The league’s neglect of college basketball has been both ongoing and pervasive. How one of the richest conferences in the nation could field so many high level and championship caliber sports (womens basketball, baseball, soccer, gymnastics, softball, tennis, golf, swimming, etc) and yet fail to invest the necessary resources in the second most popular and visible college sport defies comprehension. There is no leadership from the top. The league needs to emphasize this product for financial purposes. Thankfully the league let teams know they needed to improve their non-conference schedule but in the short term that just exposed our relative weakness to the rest of the country.
