The near disaster against Bradley last week may have slowed the downhill momentum Missouri spent the first few weeks building up. But as SEC play kicks off in Columbia, Mo., tonight, it bears remembering — no one in the conference has done what Missouri has.
Looking at the other contenders at the top of the SEC, here’s what you get.
— Tennessee, which is undefeated, hasn’t played a Top 100 KenPom team in two and a half weeks.
— LSU, at 6-1, boasts its best win at home over a no-good Texas A&M.
