The 2022-23 SEC season is now a month in and a handful of teams have taken up residency at the top of the league.. As the conference continues to pile on the wins, the depth of the SEC has been on display early with numerous teams in the running for NCAA Tournament bids. The late-season competition should make for an exciting finish down the stretch and heading into this year’s conference tournament.
