SEC Basketball's First Week Not Kind to Most Teams
11/18/2009
I'm a 23-year-old Public Relations major who is beyond obsessed with college basketball. I've followed NCAA hoops, especially in the Southeastern Conference, most of my adult life and I've created my blog to share my interest and thoughts.
I approach basketball a bit differently than most. While I have many opinions, most of them are based on statistics and analyzation. I enjoy mulling over unique insights that those stats provide and I tend to compare and contrast them and imply how they may relate to each team's performance. Think Ken Pomeroy but more words.
If you enjoy the work, or have any comments or questions, please comment!
Auburn isn't going to slay anyone. At least there's football......

Missouri State University is a "cupcake"?
You are young and obviously don't do a lot of research.
SEC teams keep comin to Springfield and goin home with an "L". Last year it was Arkansas. Last night it was Auburn.
You're not very good. Poorly coached basketball team. SEC nonsense like "cupcake" backfired on you.

Hi Kurt,
Since you're an SEC bball enthusiast, I wanted to ask you what you think of Rico Pickett, who transferred to Manhattan via Miami Dade and Alabama. Aside from the off the court issues, what is Pickett like as a player?
Thanks,
Ari

It's a unique article about Manhattan's Devon Austin who is adjusting to his first year of pro ball in Europe and I think it speaks a lot about what these guys need to go through in order to achieve their goal of playing for a living.
Take care,
Ari

DeleteGreg, I'm not sure exactly what your problem is. Auburn is one of, if not THE, worst team in this league and Arkansas was EASILY the worst last season.
You beat a terrible team by 11 at home. Congratulations.
Sounds like you need to decrease the size of your ego just a bit.
Ari, from what I remember of Pickett he was dynamic, fast and a solid defender but streaky as a shooter.
