SEC Starting Out Slow With Bad Hiccups!

Coming off a year where you only had three teams earn a spot in the NCAA tournament the last thing the SEC wanted was a slow start.

But, a little over a week into the season and the conference already has five losses with four to lesser opponents.

Mississippi St., Auburn, Arkansas, Alabama, and Georgia have all lost this year.

Arkansas did lose to a quality opponent in Louisville, but when you lose by 30 that is unacceptable.

With loses to Rider, Missouri State, Cornell, and Wofford, and a close call against Miami(OH) for the team believed to win the league Kentucky this could be a very long season for the conference.

The Conference is sitting at 17-5 for the season so far with LSU leading the way with a 3-0 record.

Earlier in the season players are rusty and you are trying to get the players adjusted to playing with each other if you have a young team. With that said at no time should you lose to an inferior opponent.

The SEC needs at least six teams to go dancing this year to give the conference the emotional boost the need.
