NCAAF SEC Basketball: Standings experience shakeup following SEC-Big 12 Challenge
It may be a great thing that the SEC-Big 12 Challenge is coming to a close, especially for SEC programs.
The Big 12 won seven of the ten games in the final event last Saturday, some by convincing margins.
The biggest upset of the weekend was Oklahoma’s thrashing of No. 2 Alabama, 93-69. Two Sooners’ scored 25 or more points in the game, led by Grant Sheffield’s 30-point effort followed by Jalen Hill’s 26-point game.
Mississippi State also earned an upset win by taking down No. 11 TCU, 81-74. The Bulldogs needed overtime to pull off the victory, but got much-needed production from Tolu Smith, who scored 27 points and pulled down 13 rebounds.
In the event’s only ranked-vs-ranked matchup, Rick Barnes got the best of his former squad as No. 4 Tennessee defeated No. 11 Texas, 82-71 in Knoxville. Oliver Nkhamhoua and Zakai Zeigler each scored 20 points for the Volunteers, dropping 27 and 22 points respectively.
