2007 SEC Basketball Predictions
When taking a look
at Jimmy Boyd's 2007 SEC
basketball predictions there are
going to be people who think that
this conference is down since the
names on top will be Tennesee,
Mississippi State, and Alabama
instead of Kentucky and Florida like
is usual. Don't worry though
as this conference is going to be
deep as ever and loaded with
talented guys like Shan Foster,
Chris Lofton, Jamont Gordon, and
Ronald Steele. You'll see
quite a few of these teams make the
NCAA tournament, and at least one of
them will be a force in the Elite
Eight at worst.

East:
Our favorite out East is Tennessee.
This is far and away the most talented club in the conference as Bruce Pearl has
loads of talent and the energy level high for the men's team for a change.
Expect this team to contend for a national title.
Even without Tubby Smith, Kentucky
is going to be a force in the East. Billy Gillespie takes over the team
and expectations are high, he'll have a talented backcourt and if someone can
step up down low this squad could surprise people.
Billy Donovan left Florida
during the off-season only to return a few weeks later. He won't have the
NBA talent that took off after a second national title, but he'll have top tier
talent to start a new era.
Vanderbilt has Shan Foster to
lead the Commodores in his senior year, and AJ Ogilvy will try to make an
immediate impact at center, but this team isn't ready for the elite of the
league.
Dennis Felton is running out of time to turn around the
Georgia Bulldogs, and this year
will be another one in which the team won't hear their name called on Selection
Sunday.
South Carolina has seemed
to make a living out of performing well in the NIT, but it will be tough for the
Gamecocks to even make the post-season with this group of guys.
West:
We are big on sophomore Patrick Beverley, and the Razorback fans will be too
when he leads Arkansas to the SEC
West crown.
Mississippi State is
going to surprise some people because Jamont Gordon and Charles Rhodes are a
good enough 1-2 combo to compete with almost anyone in the nation.
If Ronald Steele can stay healthy and get back to full strength, then you'll
see the Alabama Rolling Tide make a
run at this side of the league's crown.
Don't count the Auburn Tigers out
quite yet, but we don't really think that they'll finish in the top half of the
conference.
What has happened to the LSU Tigers?
After dominating the NCAA tournament two years ago this team fell off the map
last year. This year the team will have even less talent and will most
likely miss the post-season.
Ole Miss lost a lot of quality
talent from a year ago so we fully expect this to be a rebuilding year as they
end up with the league's worst record.
