The SEC proved it is the deepest conference in college basketball winning 14 of the 16 matchups against the ACC, including Alabama's 94-79 win at North Carolina.
Welcome to BamaCentral’s "Just a Minute," a video series featuring BamaCentral's Alabama beat writers. Multiple times a week, the writers will group up or film solo to provide their take on a topic concerning the Crimson Tide or the landscape of college sports.
Watch the above video as BamaCentral's Katie Windham discusses the domination of the SEC in the ACC/SEC challenge and what that means for this college basketball season. If anyone still questioned the legitimacy of the Southeastern Conference as a basketball league, that was put to rest during Tuesday and Wednesday's ACC/SEC Challenge, which the SEC won 14-2.
Not only did the SEC nearly sweep the challenge, but a lot of the wins weren't even particularly close. Georgia, South Carolina, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Texas A&M, Ole Miss, LSU, Alabama, Florida, Mississippi State and Vanderbilt all won by double digits. On the other hand, the two losses the SEC suffered , both came down to the final minutes.
The results showed how deep the SEC and how challenging it is going to be to win the conference this season.Katie Windham is the assistant editor for BamaCentral, primarily covering football, basketball gymnastics and softball. She is a two-time graduate of the University of Alabama and has covered a variety of Crimson Tide athletics since 2019 for outlets like The Tuscaloosa News, The Crimson White and the Associated Press before joining BamaCentral full time in 2021.
