Hey there guys, first off I am having internet troubles so I apologize for this coming late, and yesterday was kind of rough on me as I was just absolutely way off with my picks. I went 4-6 in the NBA and 2-3 in the NHL, my worst day as far as the NBA is concerned and one of my worst since I've started picking NHL. Woof. Oh well I hope today goes a little better. I've been working on recruiting and Super Bowl stuff so my mind hasn't exactly been at the top of my game but I'll see if i can improve upon my record today. As always let me know what you think.
SEC Men's Basketball
Auburn 11-11 (2-5) @ Arkansas 11-11 (4-3)
12:45pm
TV: ESPN 360
Line: Ark -5
Players to Watch: Aub G DeWayne Reed 16.1ppg 4.4apg 1.5spg, Aub F Lucas Hargrove 13.2ppg 7.1rpg 0.5bpg, Ark G Rotnei Clarke 16.7ppg 1.5apg 1.0spg, Ark F Marshawn Powell 15.9ppg 6.1rpg 1.4bpg
Preview: Arkansas is the hottest team in the SEC right now as they have upset 3 teams in a row and are now in 1st place in the SEC West, but they are taking on a very underrated Auburn team that is better than their 2-5 record indicates. I think this one is a close one with the Hot Hogs pulling it out in the end..
Arkansas by 3
Mississippi State 16-6 (4-3) @ Florida 16-6 (5-3)
12:45pm
TV: ESPN 360
Line: Flo -3
Players to Watch: MSU G Dee Bost 11.5ppg 5.2apg 1.2spg, MSU F Jarvis Varnado 13.4ppg 11.2rpg 5.2bpg, Flo G Erving Walker 13.2ppg 5.2apg 1.5spg
Preview: This is an interesting matchup as Florida has been playing some solid basketball lately (won 5 of their last 6) and Miss State is one of the best teams in the West. The inside matchup of Florida's Alex Tyus and State's Jarvis Varnado should be a great match up to watch. I like the Gators at home.
Florida by 8
#4/#3 Kentucky 21-1 (6-1) @ LSU 9-13 (0-8)
3:00pm
TV: ESPN 360
Line: Kent -11
Players to Watch: LSU F Tasmin Mitchell 17.6ppg 9.9rpg 0.5bpg, LSU F Storm Warren 12.4ppg 7.7rpg 1.4bpg, Kent G John Wall 16.9ppg 6.8apg 2.0spg, Kent G Eric Bledsoe 10.9ppg 3.5apg 1.5spg, Kent F DeMarcus Cousins 16.3ppg 9.8rpg 1.9bpg, Kent F Patrick Patterson 15.1ppg 7.6rpg 1.0bpg
Preview: It's hard to come up with an argument for the Bayou Bengals in this one. Maybe if Kentucky REALLY REALLY overlooks them? and Tasmin Mitchell and Storm Warren have career days? Too many ifs..
Kentucky by 21
Alabama 13-9 (3-5) @ #25/na Ole Miss 16-6 (4-4)
5:00pm
TV: ESPN 360
Line: Miss -7
Players to Watch: Bama G Mikhail Torrance 15.4ppg 5.5apg 0.9spg, Bama F JaMychal Green 14.5ppg 7.1rpg 2.1bpg Miss G Chris Warren16.6ppg 3.4apg 1.2spg, Miss G Terrico White 15.2ppg 1.4apg 0.7spg, Miss G Eniel Polynice 10.7ppg 4.2apg 1.3spg
Preview: This should be a helluva game between one of the conference's best offenses and one of its best defenses. Ole Miss has played better on defense and crashing the boards but one if its main post players, Reginald Buckner, has been injured and missed their last two games. If he plays, which he is supposed to, I think the Rebels have the edge against the worst rebounding team in the SEC.

South Carolina 13-8 (4-3) @ #14/#14 Tennessee 17-4 (5-2)
5:00pm
TV: ESPN
Line: Tenn -10
Players to Watch: SC G Devan Downey 22.9ppg 3.6apg 3.0spg, Tenn G Bobby Maze 8.7ppg 3.3apg 0.9spg, Tenn F Wayne Chism 12.2ppg 7.1rpg 1.4bpg
Preview: This one should be fun to watch as talent wise Tennesse is clearly better than the gamecocks. But so was Kentucky. Devan Downey has to be a shoe in for SEC player of the year but I think Tennessee and their solid record at home do just enough to give the Vols a solid edge.

#18/#20 Vanderbilt 17-4 (6-1) @ Georgia 9-11 (1-6)
7:00pm
TV: ESPN 360
Line: Vandy -4.5
Players to Watch: UGA F Trey Thompkins 17.6ppg 7.8rpg 1.2bpg
Preview: If you judge this game by the records of each team you probably won't even watch it but the Dawgs have played some really good basketball this season, they have upset ranked Georgia Tech and ranked Tennessee in their home court. I think Vandy is the 2nd best team in the SEC though.
