The SEC/Big 12 Challenge claimed a lion's share of airtime in men’s college basketball over the weekend. For the most part the games lacked late drama but nevertheless produced some surprising results.
Overall the Big 12 took the series winning seven of the 10 contests. But did the SEC’s results actually – mean more? Yeah, sorry, couldn’t resist.
We will say this much – there were encouraging signs for the two afore-mentioned victors. The way Kansas was able to keep Oscar Tshiebwe and the Wildcats off the offensive glass, addressing a recent bugaboo for the Jayhawks, was a major positive. The Volunteers, meanwhile, were able to run effective sets and shoot 55.6% against the Longhorns, which combined with their usual defensive prowess will make them quite formidable if they can keep it up.
We’ll delve into other matchups in that series as well as the rest of the hardwood happenings around the country in this week’s edition of winners and losers.As mentioned, the Large Dozen-minus-two claimed the overall series against the SEC helped by winning the two closest contests. Baylor and West Virginia picked up three-point wins at home over Arkansas and Auburn, respectively.The Kansas State forward posted 13 points and 11 rebounds to help the Wildcats beat Florida.
