A few of the story lines from this week in the SEC.
Tennessee barley escaped UNC-Asheville on Tuesday night. UT only managed a 75-point margin of victory. Geez, I don't care if your playing a high school team. 75 points is incredible. The Vols are 2-0 and ranked 10th in the AP poll.
Kentucky on the other hand barley did escape with a victory. Freshmen sensation John Wall hit a last-second shot to help the Wildcats slip by Miami of Ohio 72-20. The Wildcats will get another test on Saturday, as Rider comes to town confident after handling Mississippit State earlier this week.
LSU is off to a fast 3-0 start, with a solid victory over Western Kentucky in the NIT tipoff. Things get really interesting next week, as the Tigers travel to Storrs to face UConn. Connecticut is 12th in the country and will be a good measuring stick for the SEC.
Georiga suffered a seeminly horible loss to Wofford. However, Wofford only lost by 3 at Pittsburgh, so it might not be as bad as it looks. The Bulldogs have a very winnable game against UAB and then two cupcakes. Don't judge this team too quickly.
Overall, the SEC is 17-5 to start the season.
