With the 2022-23 SEC Basketball season set to begin Monday night, why not take a minute and make some predictions on what will happen between now and March?
As for what these predictions will look like, I will make my picks for each of the following:
- SEC Final Regular Season Standings
- All-SEC teams
- SEC Individual Awards
So, let’s get to it. Here are my preseason predictions for the 2022-23 SEC Basketball season, beginning with the final regular season standings at seasons end.
Preseason predictions for the 2022-23 SEC Basketball season
SEC Basketball Regular Season Final Standings
- Kentucky
- Arkansas
- Tennessee
- Alabama
- Auburn
- Florida
- Texas A&M
- LSU
- Ole Miss
- Vanderbilt
- Mississippi State
- Missouri
- Georgia
- South Carolina
Beginning with the final regular season standings, I predict that Kentucky will win the 2022-23 SEC regular season title, but it will certainly be by a slim margin. In fact, the top five teams from Kentucky-Auburn should all be very close this season in the conference standings, which each of those five teams capable of finishing in the top spot.
Additionally, I predict that the SEC will send at-least seven teams to the NCAA Tournament this season, with LSU, and potentially Ole Miss, both on the bubble come March.
