SEC girls basketball: Conference outlook

Everyone was chasing Keokuk in the 2021-22 girls basketball season, and it will take quite an effort for any of the Southeast Conference teams to knock the Chiefs off their hill.

The SEC had three players scoring over 20 points per game last year. Only one of the top five scorers from last season returns in 2022-23.
