12. Arkansas
Football: 2-10 overall, 0-8 in conference, 7th in SEC West
Basketball: 20-12 overall, 7-11 in conference, 10th in SEC
How Were The Football/Basketball Seasons? The basketball team went on a nice late run to to make a possible push or the NCAA Tournament. It would’ve needed to win at least two games in the SEC Tournament, and it obviously didn’t get the chance.
The football team lost at home to San Jose State, lost its last nine games, and dumped head coach Chad Morris with a few games to go. There were several close games and battles, but 2-10 is 2-10.
11. Missouri
Football: 6-6 overall, 3-5 in conference, T4th in SEC East
Basketball: 15-16 overall, 7-11 in conference, T10th in SEC
How Were The Football/Basketball Seasons? This isn’t quite fair. Missouri would’ve gone bowling at 6-6, but that’s sort of the point – the fans and team didn’t get to enjoy the season with nothing coming at the end of the rainbow. Losing five of the last six games didn’t help.
The basketball team was 10-10 in late January, but it lost six of its last 11 games to finish with a losing record.
10. South Carolina
Football: 4-8 overall, 3-5 in conference, T4th in SEC East
Basketball: 18-13 overall, 10-8 in conference, T6th in SEC
How Were The Football/Basketball Seasons? The Gamecocks had a shot a being considered for the NCAA Tournament if they went on a roll in the SEC Tournament, but it would’ve been a long shot. At the very least, they came up with a winning season.
A brutal schedule was part of the excuse for a 4-8 football campaign, but losing to North Carolina and Appalachian State wasn’t part of the plan. Neither was losing five of the last six games.
