LISTEN: ESPN's Karl Ravech says SEC's top 3 teams can compete with Duke
Tennessee is the No. 1 team in the country right now, but Duke may still be the favorites to win the NCAA Tournament when March Madness rolls around.
However, ESPN’s Karl Ravech, who called LSU’s last-second victory over Kentucky on Tuesday night, said that he thinks the SEC has some elite teams, too.
Ravech joined College Sports Radio on SiriusXM on Wednesday and said he thinks the SEC’s three best teams — Tennessee, LSU and Kentucky — can hang with the Blue Devils:

“I think Tennessee is the best team in the country,” he said. “I think they can beat Duke. I think Kentucky can beat Duke. I think LSU can play with Duke.”
No. 1 Tennessee heads to Lexington to face No. 5 Kentucky on Saturday night. We’ll see then which team wins that marquee matchup.
