SEC basketball preview: Projected order of finish, preseason predictions, top players to watch

Posted Nov 1, 2025
After 13 SEC players were taken in the 2025 NBA Draft and three coaching jobs changed hands, the conference has a new feel entering 2025-26. A whopping 26 of last season's top 30 scorers from the SEC are gone, which opens the door for a new wave of stars to take over the conference. In KenPom's preseason ratings, 11 of the top 35 teams are from the league. (CBS Sports)
