2026 SEC basketball standings after Week 1
Week 1 of 2026 SEC men's basketball play concluded Jan. 3. No. 18 Arkansas (11-3, 1-0 SEC) defeated No. 20 Tennessee (10-4, 0-1 SEC), 86-75, at Bud Walton Arena in Fayetteville, Arkansas.
The No. 13 Alabama Crimson Tide play against the Texas Longhorns in an SEC basketball game tonight. Fans can watch this game for free online.
Alabama is ranked among college basketball's top teams entering SEC play. Here is where Alabama sits in ESPN's latest "Bracketology."
LSU women’s basketball held Booker to four points and Harmon to just two assists by half. Kim Mulkey and associate head coach Bob Starkey’s defensive gameplan disrupted the Longhorns all afternoon long leading to the team's biggest win this season a 70-65 upset victory over the No. 2 Longhorns inside the Pete Maravich Assembly Center Sunday.
What’s not debatable is that the Aggies play a fun style, ranking 10th in offensive tempo and attempting nearly half of their shots (46.7%) from deep. It’s a fun basketball team already and as McMillan builds his program and has more time to bring in preferred personnel, they’ll become a joy to watch.
