It was a week of upsets in the Southeastern Conference, just enough to scramble the top of the Heat Check. Ten of the SEC’s 14 teams take part in the Big 12/SEC Challenge this weekend, marking a pivotal prove-it week for a conference that doesn’t have the quality depth of the last two years.
Here’s a latest glance at the SEC from top to bottom:
1. Kentucky (13-4, 4-1): The Wildcats stumbled on the road against suddenly resurgent South Carolina but had an impressive win Saturday at a raucous Bud Walton Arena, seizing all momentum after John Calipari was hit with a couple technical and ejected.
