This year is definitely an anomaly. State has won at least 3 games, maybe more(too lazy to look it up) scoring only in the low to mid 60?s. I remember multiple years where State scoring in the low to mid 60?s was a giantess loss. A couple of seasons, I think they never won a game that they scored less than 64 points.

I believe this is a bad year for SEC basketball.
But the B1G is always rated high and nearly all of their games are played in the 60?s. I don?t think it is defense in the SEC though. I just think it is bad basketball. A&M is awful. Vandy is awful. SC is bad, UK is bad, Auburn is bad, Ole Miss is mediocre, State is mediocre, Georgia is meh, Florida is meh. LSU is decent, Arkansas is decent, UT is decent, Missouri is pretty good, Alabama is very good.
