Schedules seeping through the cracks…

This time of year is that exciting (okay, maybe not entirely exciting) phase in college basketball when the recruiting period is wrapping up and schedules for the upcoming season begin to filter out of the programs.

Here is a look at some SEC schedules that have been released. Particularly interesting games have been bolded, and only schedules versus the opposite division have been included, because all inter-division teams play home-and-home series.

@ Miss. State

Kentucky’s schedule is relatively challenging. Most of the non-conference consists of cupcakes, but the three “big games” could all end up being Top-10 opponents. Their SEC West schedule is favorable, with both Alabama and Arkansas at home. At Mississippi State and at Tennessee could be the two toughest games in their conference schedule.

Ole Miss’ non-conference schedule is a complete joke. With only two true road-games versus nobodys, their only challenge will be against Winthrop and at the San Juan Shootout. Their schedule versus the East is brutal, however. All three teams they must travel to should be the top 3 teams from the division. Look for the Rebels to have a gaudy record approaching conference play before slamming back down to Earth come January.

These are the only two teams to release their schedules at the moment. Look for updates throughout the off-season.
