The SEC isn’t what it used to be. It’s a lot better.
The days of Kentucky single-handedly dominating the conference and teams like Florida applying some pressure every couple years are over, and college basketball is better for it.
But with Tennessee, Auburn and LSU (just to name a few) emerging as threats in the league, where does that leave the Gators? Well, right now it leaves them at a sub .500 SEC record and a long-shot of making it in the NCAA Tournament.
With a young team, Florida is trying to follow the Tennessee model and reestablish itself.
