Yes, SEC hoops is deeper than ever, but don’t forget the star power of 1980s and ’90s

If I’ve heard it said once this basketball season, I’ve heard it a couple hundred times: “The Southeastern Conference is better than it’s ever been.”

I agree with that statement in one regard. That is, SEC basketball, from top to bottom, is better than ever. The league has more teams, more really good teams, more balance and is more competitive than it has ever been. It is the best league in the country by far.
