Halfway through the college basketball season, the main news on SEC basketball has been like a broken record-the Kentucky Wildcats are not only the best team in the SEC, but also the top team in the nation.

Kentucky’s resume features a point differential of over 26 points and a tenacious defense that swats over 7 shots per game, leaving little room to argue their claim of SEC dominance. And with no other SEC teams ranked in the top 25, there is a good chance that the Wildcats could run the table and go into the NCAA Tournament undefeated.

With top teams such Kansas and Louisville unable to blemish the Wildcat’s record, it is not fair to expect any teams from the SEC to defeat Kentucky. Despite this dominance, the SEC has historically (over the past three years) sent three teams to the Big Dance, leaving an opportunity for talented squads to make some noise in the second half of the season.

There are still a number of high quality conference games left to play that could determine what teams will represent the SEC in the NCAA Tournament. And with three SEC finalists on the Mid-Season Wooden Award top 25 list, there are plenty of top players that could have an impact in March.

Here are four teams (not including Kentucky’s second platoon) that could potentially challenge Kentucky’s perfect season and grab the crown as second best team in SEC.
