SEC Basketball

I am wearing my Mississippi State shirt in honor of their season sweep of Ole Miss.
(4th time in 7 years. ) Why can't MState play as agressive against other team as they do against the Rebels.

How bad is the basketball in the SEC West. They are 4-21 against top 25 teams.
The SEC East is a bit better at 13-12. Only KY and Vandy have winning records.
I do not like the Gators. Tenn tends to fold with their shooting when the pressure picks up.

LSU is the drudge of the conference. (0-10 in Conference) How did this happen?
The In-State talent is being sent all over the nation while the AAU teams continue to finish in the top 10 nationally. The talent leaving the state is continuing this year.
Maybe LSU needs a new recruiting coordinator? Their excuse, (that is logical,) is that Brady had so many people not graduate that Johnson cannot get the high talent players that will leave early because of the NCAA guidelines on losing scholarships.

I say BS, they lack the personality and trust with the AAU and HS coaches to help with the recruiting. Tennessee and Vandy win without a smidgen of the talent found in Louisiana.
Johnson seems to be a good X's and O's coach, but can he develop the athletes here and teach them to adjust to the pace that Calipari and Pearl will shove down the SEC's throat.

I hope they get 6 teams into the tourney: KY, Tenn, Vandy, MState, Ole Miss and Florida.
4 makes more sense with Ole Miss and Fla 1-7 record against top 25 teams. Ole Miss would be my first choice.
