The Southeastern Conference had an extremely productive final week of the nonconference season, going 13-1 this week overall.
The only loss came on Friday when Tennessee fell to in-state foe Memphis, 85-80.
A lot of the success the league had was because of the level of competition, but Auburn did knock of Florida State on Wednesday, 78-72.
