Quirky statistics

■ In 2010-11, Alabama became the first team to win more than 10 SEC games and not get an NCAA Tournament bid.

■ Florida has won 25 NCAA Tournament games with Billy Donovan. It won seven with its previous coaches.

■ Kentucky has won seven NCAA Tournament games with John Calipari. It won six in the six years prior to his arrival.

■ No SEC team has been absent from the NCAA Tournament longer than Mississippi; its last appearance was in 2002.

■ Tennessee has the longest active streak of NCAA Tournament appearances with six.

■ Neither Alabama, Auburn, Mississippi, Mississippi State nor Vandy has produced a first-round NBA pick since 2002.
