2021-22 SEC Men's Basketball Power Rankings: Week 16
There are just two weeks left in the regular season of college basketball, and the competition is beginning to heat up to reflect it.
After losing big at Tennessee, Kentucky picked up a big victory against Alabama on Saturday, turning things around late in the first half and riding a successful offense that seemingly couldn't miss over the game's final 20 minutes. The Wildcats from the 2020-21 season are gone, and the Kentucky of old is back.
Auburn also experienced a week where it went 1-1, beating Vanderbilt 94-80 on Wednesday before falling on the road at Florida 63-62 on Saturday afternoon. The Tigers could still very well be the best team in the conference, but two losses in the past two weeks keeps them squarely in second this week.
It's hard to believe that there is just four regular-season games remaining for the majority of SEC teams. With each team fighting for the best seeding possible in the SEC Tournament, it's sure to be a wild final two weeks of the season with so many teams hanging in the middle of the pack.
Here are the biggest winners and losers this week:
