Description: In this episode of The Barn Hoops Podcast, we make the case for the SEC to adopt a 20-game basketball conference schedule. With the SEC's depth and national prominence, a 20-game format offers more high-stakes matchups, better television ratings, and a more polished product on the court come NCAA tournament time. We break down how a longer conference schedule creates better games in December and mirrors successful models already in use by the Big Ten and previously, the ACC. Plus, we explore how this change would impact non-conference scheduling, player development, and fan engagement. Could a 20-game SEC slate actually elevate the league's national reputation and postseason performance? Tune in as we crunch the numbers, examine historical trends, and lay out why the SEC should take the leap into a more competitive and compelling future. #WarEagle #AuburnBasketball #NevilleArena #TheBarn #BarnHoopsPod #JacobHillman #Nike #SECBasketball #CollegeBasketball #BrucePearl #WDE #AuburnTigers #TahaadPettiford #FilipJovic #KeyshawnHall #KeShawnMurphy #EmekaOpurum #ElyjahFreeman #AbdulBashir Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
