Here is an interesting 2009-10 SEC Preview from a site titled: SEC Hoops: The Good. The Bad. The Dirty. (this one must be The Bad.):
SEC EAST
1. Tennessee – 24-4, 13-3
2. Vanderbilt – 22-6, 12-4
t3. Kentucky – 21-9, 10-6
t3. Florida – 20-10, 10-6
5. South Carolina – 16-12, 7-9
6. Georgia – 10-19, 3-13
SEC WEST
1. Mississippi State – 24-6, 12-4
2. Ole Miss – 18-10, 8-8
3. Alabama – 18-12, 7-9
4. Arkansas – 15-16, 6-10
5. LSU – 13-14, 4-12
6. Auburn – 13-18, 3-13
SEC Player of the Year: Jarvis Varnardo, Mississippi State
SEC Freshman of the Year: John Wall, Kentucky
All-SEC First Team
Jarvis Varnado (Mississippi State) Patrick Patterson (Kentucky) Tyler Smith (Tennessee) A.J. Ogilvy (Vanderbilt) Chris Warren (Ole Miss)
All-SEC Second-Team
Michael Washington (Arkansas) Rotnei Clarke (Arkansas) Tasmin Mitchell (LSU) Wayne Chism (Tennessee) Alex Tyus (Florida)
Here is the summary of Kentucky:
KENTUCKY
Last Year: 22-14, 8-8 (Nationally: #52 )
Postseason: NIT Quarterfinals
Returning : 56.95% of scoring (11th), 75.76% of rebounding (6th)
Kentucky loses offensive juggernaut Jodie Meeks, and despite what the talking heads say, they will suffer because of it. The Blue bring in one of the greatest recruiting classes of all time, but none of those players are known for explosive offensive potential. The entire offense can’t rest on the shoulders of the frontcourt, much less only All-SEC star Patrick Patterson. This team will struggle at times offensively and is far too imbalanced to warrant their sky-high expectations. An NCAA Tournament bid is probable, a Final Four run is not.
Prediction : (21-9, 10-6), NCAA Tournament

This article is a joke!!
But we did only get back 56.95% of our scoring! LOL
john wall is not known for explosive offense ... then what exactly would you call smashing on peoples heads from the paint any time he chooses ?
Wall is one of the most explosive players ever in the NCAA...madness!
Don't know what you are so upset about it's the truth, with meeks it would be a final 4 team I think maybe even championship but at the MOST elite 8. And we should be happy its a major upgrade from last year
You have a lot of freshmen and 1st year junior college transfers and a coach that hasn't been in a major conference his whole life. What makes you think that everyone in the SEC is just going to lay down for you guys. Stop being so high and mighty when the young'uns haven't even played a game yet. Cal has been known to bring out the best in players when the slate is against them, let things play out without proclaiming yourselves SEC champs. Go Vols!
Chris Warren of Ole Miss will eat John Walls lunch!
I'm predicting 2 of the 4 projected Vols' losses will be to UK this year. On a side note I bet Wal-Mart loves UT fans, I mean where else can you buy a hunter orange vest and hat to wear from the tree stand straight to the game? Maybe they are smarter than we give them credit for.... well I'm just saying....
TB
I don't mind if Warren eat's Wall's lunch. I'm sure Wall will share.
