Week 10 SEC Basketball Power Rankings: Auburn remains at No. 1

Conference play has arrived in the SEC.

While a couple of SEC teams had to cancel their games this past weekend, the majority of the conference was able to begin SEC play. There were several high-profile matchups that were played between ranked teams as well as unranked high-profile squads.

Kentucky has gotten back on track following their loss to Notre Dame just a couple of short weeks ago. The Wildcats are now 11-2 having won their last four straight. LSU, the SEC’s last unbeaten team, took a rather large loss to the Auburn Tigers last Wednesday, a game where Auburn’s Walker Kessler recorded only the second triple-double in school history.

Arkansas, who was heralded as an offensive juggernaut coming into the season, lost in embarrassing fashion to Mississippi State. The Razorbacks have only played three games against Power Six competition, averaging 68.6 points in those three contests.
