How as many as 6 teams could share the SEC regular-season basketball title

When it comes to SEC basketball, I’ve seen a few things.

I’ve seen Wimp Sanderson smile and Sonny Smith scowl. I’ve seen Hollywood Robinson blow child-like bubbles off the bounce and Chris Porter throw down man-sized dunks in blatant violation of the law of gravity.

I’ve seen Arkansas, Kentucky and Florida win national championships, Alabama and Auburn win conference championships and Mississippi State reach the Final Four with not one but two guards from small-town Alabama in Darryl Wilson and Bart Hyche.

Good times all.

Of all the amazing and amusing things SEC basketball has done right and wrong before my very eyes for almost four decades, there is something unprecedented just around the corner. It’s not probable, but it’s still possible, which is a pretty good summary statement of the history of this sport in this league.

Two weeks from now, the SEC could have co-champions. Six of them. I am not dreaming, and I have not been drinking. I have done the math, and there is a path for Alabama, Auburn, Tennessee, Kentucky, Florida and South Carolina each to finish the regular season at 13-5.
