SEC Basketball Power Poll January 17-23

Hoopspowerpoll_medium

My SEC Basketball Power Poll ballot. Results at Ghost of Chucky, which is an Ole Miss blog. Seriously.

1. Kentucky: UK fans will cherish this season when it gets taken away from them in four years because John Calipari did something illegal. I have my fingers crossed for Ashley Judd illegally recruiting John Wall.

2. Tennessee: This team has so many weapons. With their firepower and shooting skills, they could blow teams away. (Hooray for gun references!)

3. Vanderbilt: Slowly making their case for an NCAA bid. Vandy has won eight consecutive games and is 9-0 at home.

4. Mississippi State: The worst of the 3-0 SEC teams. Total margin of victory in those games? 10 points.

5. Ole Miss: The best of the 2-2 SEC teams. Just seems like they are destined for an early SEC tournament exit.

6. South Carolina: Have fallen hard after starting 2-0. But Devan Downey is so good that his 25 points, on 7-20 field goals, against Ole Miss was seen as being shut down.

7. Florida: Erving Walker has risen to the top, but UF needs center Vernon Macklin to be a offensive force.

8. Arkansas: How different would things be if Courtney Fortson was around the entire season?

9. Alabama: JaMychal Green (15 points, 7 rebounds per game) is the brightest spot in a rebuilding season.

10. Auburn: Maybe they aren't as bad as 1-3 since they did start with a tough SEC schedule. But they didn't impress in out-of-conference either.

11. Georgia: The best of the zero win SEC teams. But there is only one other winless team, so that isn't saying much.

12. LSU: At least they still have Tasmin Mitchell.

the EAST is a beast this year.

If the Gamecocks were in the West, I'd have us finishing a close third in the division and having an outside shot at the NCAAs.

In the East, it’s probably fifth and struggling to make the NIT. Even UGA is competitive right now, UF and USC are decent, Vandy will fight its way into the top 25 soon, and UF and UT are top 10. Tough division.

Good luck tomorrow.

The real difference between the conferences is their cellars...

Auburn and LSU are awful and Arkansas isn’t far behind. Our only cellar team is UGA, who doesn’t seem to be too bad.

Coaching in the East is also much better, as much as I like Trent Johnson.
