In the first week of the new year, SEC women's basketball has entered conference play with a stellar record outside the league.
Twelve of the 14 teams entered 2016 with nine or more victories, and five, including the University of Florida, had 12 or more. Mississippi State got to 14 wins by beating Florida 76-60 on Sunday in the league opener for both teams. The SEC was 149-42 in non-conference games (.830).
