Several teams have shown flashes of being championship-caliber this season. That starts with the Tigers, who are led by the brilliant freshman Jabari Smith (16.6 points, 6.8 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game). The Tigers claim an SEC-best 27-4 overall record, 15-3 in conference — but did suffer three of their losses in the last eight games after starting the season 22-1 and 10-0 in SEC play.
The Volunteers and Wildcats fall to the Nos. 2 and 3 seeds in the tournament. Arkansas is the last top-four seed at No. 4. LSU (21-10, 9-9 in SEC play) and Alabama (19-12, 9-9 in SEC) fall in at Nos. 5 and 6, respectively. It should be noted that Nate Oats’ Crimson Tide team, while inconsistent, also claims wins over three of last year’s four Final Four teams in Houston, Baylor and Gonzaga.
What does that mean ahead of this year’s tournament? Only that you shouldn’t be surprised if the unexpected somehow becomes reality.
