The Unrivaled Supremacy of the SEC in College Basketball
When it comes to college basketball, there’s no denying the Southeastern Conference (SEC) is the cream of the crop. I’ve seen Tennessee fans misinterpreting my previous statements, thinking I was referring to football. Let me set the record straight: we’re talking hoops here, folks!
Auburn Leads the Pack
As it stands, Auburn is the clear-cut number one overall seed if the tournament were to start today. Tennessee is a close second, and I’d argue Kentucky deserves a top spot as well, alongside Duke. But what truly sets the SEC apart is its remarkable depth.
Unprecedented Conference Strength
All 16 teams in the conference boast top 68 rankings according to Ken Pom, with every single team holding a record of 7-3 or better. The only exception is South Carolina, which has three losses. This level of consistency is unparalleled, and I firmly believe the SEC will send at least 12 teams to the tournament.
Ohio State’s Free Fall
On the other end of the spectrum, Ohio State’s season is rapidly unraveling. This team is struggling to stay afloat, having gone viral twice in one week for getting thrashed by halftime. It’s not just about losing – it’s about the lack of fight and resilience. The Buckeyes’ poor performance has given their critics ample ammunition to question the hiring of first-time head coach Jake Diebler. And let’s not forget the challenges facing first-time head coach Ryan Day.
The Verdict: Ohio State is Out
In short, Ohio State’s tournament hopes are all but extinguished. Mark Titus shares his thoughts on the Buckeyes’ dismal performance in the latest episode of his show. Tune in to hear his take on this struggling team.
