It might be hard to imagine this but I’ve been writing these previews since 2014. That would make this the 10th edition of the SEC Conference Basketball previews. I have never NOT picked Kentucky to finish first in the league. 9 years, 9 first place picks. Year 10? Third.
The mood around Lexington these days might have you believe that things are in dire straights with their head coach. John Calipari has been leading the Wildcat program now for 14 seasons and it feels like he’s got real job pressure for the first time. But if you look at the results, Kentucky has still been really good!
