My latest attempt to rank the SEC ... 1. Florida. Still No. 1 to me. I'm not going to drop the Gators for a loss to a hungry Tennessee team this week. Billy Donovan's squad was short-handed. But Will Yeguete and Michael Frazier II will be availabl...

Seven SEC college basketball coaches are African-American. That diversity belies the history of the schools within the conference and the entire region.

Here we go again. This week's SEC power rankings: 1. Florida. In the 1980s, Mike Tyson was a brutal force who tore through boxing's contenders with an ease that few, if any, pugilists had ever achieved. But Tyson had a problem. He didn't beat guys...

What's in store for the SEC this season? Which team is the favorite? Myron Medcalf has a preview of the conference season.

Well, here we go again. My latest attempt to rank SEC teams. Enjoy. Or cry. Either would be appropriate with this conference right now. Missouri. The Tigers secured the No. 1 spot with their 82-73 win over Illinois Saturday in St. Louis. I was ...

The top remains the same. Yes, the Gators suffered a tough road loss at Arizona Saturday, their first of the season. But I can't elevate Missouri over the Gators yet. If the Tigers beat Illinois this weekend, let's talk. 1. Florida. The Gators wer...

Finally, some movement in the SEC power rankings. Tennessee secured a nice win over a mid-major power Thursday. Ole Miss, however, lost to a non-power-six standout over the weekend. Feels good to finally make a few changes. 1. Florida: If the No. ...

So, the Gators are even better than I thought, an assessment I made after their lopsided victory over Florida State on Wednesday night. The rest of the SEC, however, is quite confusing. Most of the league's programs still have a lot of work to do. Go...

By now, many assumed that Kentucky would own the No. 1 post in the SEC. As I compile the first edition of ESPN.com's power rankings for the conference, however, I'm not even sure they're No. 2. The Wildcats have faced some tough teams but they've bee...

For the next four days, ESPN.com will be breaking down the nonconference schedules of each and every team in a dozen of the nation's top leagues. We began with ACC and Conference USA and continue now with the SEC. ALABAMA Toughest: 2K Sports C...

Tournament bracket for the 2012 Old Spice Classic When and where: Nov. 22-23 and Nov. 25 at HP Fieldhouse in Orlando, Fla. Initial thoughts: I like the field. Other than Gonzaga, the bracket contains a bunch of teams with a lot of question mark...

We're still waiting on multiple standout underclassmen to make final calls on their pro futures. Some appear to be ready to go. And others are on the fence. Let's take a look at the decisions that have been made and the ones still to come.

There's plenty of intrigue in the East Region. Myron Medcalf provides a breakdown.

Well, it's early, but that doesn't mean we have to wait to make predictions. And in my opinion, you don't waiver. You make statements and projections and you stand by them, regardless of what happens in the coming weeks. Hold me to the following bold...

The trumpets, trombones and saxophones of southern jazz artists will wail on French Quarter street corners as college basketball fans convene in New Orleans next month for the Final Four. Lobster, crab, scallops and an ocean of seafood delicacies wil...

So much for a slow Saturday. College basketball fans and pundits alike should know better by now, but we always assume the worst on a supposedly "slow" weekend. Let's change the rules, based on what we've seen today. If you survey the weekend slat...
