Happy Friday, everyone. As you well know, the basketball teams are on fire right now. Kevin Sweeney over at SI.com explains why the men’s squad is the team to beat in the SEC.
Even after a home loss to Alabama in early January, Tennessee looked like the SEC favorite. But Tuesday’s embarrassing blowout defeat to Florida combined with Alabama’s recent dominance makes me think the Crimson Tide are the team to beat. The Tide’s three-point barrage to blow out LSU was one of the most impressive offensive performances by any team in recent memory and showed what makes this Alabama group so special.
