1. This writer provides a weekly report card for the Alabama basketball team… which will lug a three-game losing streak into Rupp Arena tomorrow.
2. LSU’s Trent Johnson says you can’t replace the NBA guys he lost last year with freshmen straight out of high school.
3. Mississippi State’s team has a lot of issues right now… including the lack of a solid NCAA tourney resume.
4. MSU kicks off a three-game stretch at home (where they’re undefeated in league play) against Ole Miss on Thursday.
5. As for the Rebels, they need the MSU game, too, but a home game against Vandy on Saturday is even more critical.
6. Out of 1,868 state employees in Arkansas, Bobby Petrino and John Pelphrey are the highest paid. Big shock.
7. The Razorbacks might be without Michael Washington against LSU on Wednesday due to a leg injury he suffered over the weekend against Auburn.
