Arkansas is the best team at home, but i will be trying to fade them VERY often on the road as that team has no skill. Welsh can shoot but they can beat teams at home because of their crowd, only.
...Tennessee is still the best and i think UK will make a run while UF isn't great but should win some games on the road, too

Arkansas is the cream of the crop. Rick Barnes said that Arky belongs in the Big 12 after the beating the took the other night.
It's very apparent that Tenn is not close to what they were last season and you can see how valuable Chris Lofton really was. Tenn is athletic and can really press on D at times, but on offense the can go into the unbearable cold stretches where they just chuck up stupid shots all day.
Kentucky I have hopes for... they played really good ball for a small stretch a week or so ago. Meeks is the secret weapon that team I believe.

You can say the Home Team rules that division
Kentucky @ home i'll take but on the road get lost
Tennessee @ anywhere.. no can do.. I don't think Bruce is a good coach.. I think he got put in a good situation with Lofton before and has great shooters but until they learn how to play bball and not jail ball.. no way
Arkansas @ HOME lights out... @ away.. 1-1... Still too early to tell
Florida--- Must be a school for bakers because all they been doing is playing cup cakes.. I'd like to see their true real test...
If i had to go with 1 team right now...
ARKANSAS

Do some research before you speak...they've played two road games, @ UNC, and @ Louisville the other day, where they lost by 3 on a last-second shot.
The timing of this thread is not ideal Stuck...easy to have a little bias toward Arkansas after what they've done lately. That team is extremely young though; I've actually never even heard of most of those guys. Let's see what they do in conference play, especially when they play some tougher opponents on the road.
I have only seen UT play once (against Gtown) and I was not too impressed, and UF strikes me as the same team they were last year. I have to think that, if UK progresses from non-conference to conference play like they did last year, they end up being the best team...but tough to anticipate things like that.
In the end, I think you end up getting a pretty tight race from those three in the East...and I'll predict Arkansas finishes right on their heels in SEC play, maybe a couple games back from the SEC East winner.

Guys, I'm an SEC guy and the conference is not as strong as it has been.
As you can tell by my name, I'm ALL VOL! UT has talent but can't seem to figure out how to fight through a pick or how to score on a 2-3 zone.
We are VERY inexperienced and lost a TON from last year's team. Everyone knows Lofton, but everyone forgets JuJuan Smith, Ramar Smith, Duke Crews. They played Defense and could put on the full court press, our group this year can't press.
The only returning players we have that have played are Tyler Smith (STUD), Wayne Chism (STUD when he wants to be) and JP Prince (up and down). Brian Williams is still trying to figure the game out after losing 100 lbs.
We have tons of new guys playing. Bobby Maze, Cameron Tatum, Scotty Hopson, Renaldo Woolridge, Emanual Negedu, Josh Tabb (Junior but never played) who are having to put up big minutes this year.
If they learn to play some Defense and play together they have a good chance to win some games, but not until then.
My advice for gamblers is to bet against UT on the road. They are good at home (even with the OT loss to Gonzaga last night) but not sure if they'll cover at home this year.

i'm glad i'm not the only one.
Arkansas is a good team by circumstance, they are not a team that's going to win on the road. They are a team that can lose at home if the road team doesn't come in looking unprepared like OU and Texas did. Arkansas barely won a game they should have been put away in early in the 2H, and AJ Abrams had his worst game of the year. I'm not convinced the Razorbacks are a good team, and i still think TN & UK are the best

It's close between UK and Tenn. I'll wait for the outcome of that matchup in a couple weeks to decide who is better. Tennessee hasn't responded too well to this loaded non conference schedule. They are pretty vulnerable dowen low, like last year, and I don't know if they have the shooters this year to run and gun like last year. Patrick Patterson vs. Chism will be a good matchup... have to favor PP. I am a UK fan and I am praying that Deandre Liggins becomes the starting point guard sooner than later. When this happens we will make a run at the final four. It might not be until next year.
