Sec Basketball: Top Teams and Players Enjoy Continued Court Success
/p>
Established in 1933, the Southeastern Conference has boosted an incredible number of championship teams and athletes. When it comes to athletic success, SEC Basketball has led the way in the conference for years. Indeed, SEC basketball is comprised of some of the most successful teams in the United States.
The SEC basketball teams (that have enjoyed nationwide success) are from the following universities that make up the conference:
l Alabama
l Arkansas
l Auburn
l Florida
l Georgia
l Kentucky
l LSU
l Ole Miss
l Mississippi State
l South Carolina
l Tennessee – M
l Tennessee – W
l Vanderbilt
Most recently, six men’s Southeastern Conference basketball teams were invited to play in the 2008 NCAA Tournament. SEC basketball has racked up solid success at the men’s national tournament. For example, the conference’s basketball teams have reached the NCAA Sweet Sixteen for the last 19 years. It is rare for an intercollegiate conference to enjoy this level of success.
Not only are men’s SEC basketball teams enjoying amazing success but women’s teams are at the top of the list nationally as well. Five women’s Southeastern Conference basketball teams were invited to the 2008 NCAA Tournament. Two of those teams reached the final four. And, in 2007 and 2008, the national champion in women’s basketball was a SEC basketball team – Tennessee.
In addition to NCAA championship success the SEC basketball program also has obtained a number of significant records. For example, the conference is the only one in the country to have all of its teams ranked in the Associated Press Top 25 since 2000. Other important records have also been set by SEC basketball.
As is the case in recent years, a good percentage of the SEC basketball teams are ranked in the top 25 by the NCAA. Moreover, a good number of the conference’s basketball players are also ranked amongst the top collegiate players in the United States today. (As an aside, a notable number of SEC basketball players end up being recruited by professional teams when their college days come to an end.)
The SEC basketball programs at the universities of the conference all adhere to a long established mission statement:
“The purpose of the Southeastern Conference is to assist its member institutions in the maintenance of programs of intercollegiate athletics which are compatible with the highest standards of education and competitive sports.”
Not only have SEC basketball athletes excelled on the court but they have performed dynamically in the academic arena as well. Indeed, a good percentage of both the men’s and women’s conference basketball teams have garnered academic as well as athletic recognition and honors. As the mission statement of the conference sets forth, a strong commitment is made to ensure that student athletes enjoy success both on the court and in the classroom.
Analysts predict that SEC basketball will remain at the top of the game into the future. In fact, these experts believe that the conference’s men’s and women’s teams should continue to garner top slots in the NCAA Tournament well into the coming decade.
