Southeastern Conference basketball does not have a heralded history of several teams competing for the national championship year in and year out.
We’ve got Kentucky, which is very helpful in giving the conference swag, and we’ve got teams that come in and out of national relevancy like Florida, Auburn, Tennessee and Arkansas at times. There’s plenty of teams who have had three or four nice runs making up the rest of the conference, but I don’t think nationally they are roundly considered threats year in and year out.
There have been seasons in recent years where the conference was made up of several teams who had no chance of sniffing postseason play when SEC play began.
