Hell, we need to get back to winning games. At least those teams won some big regular season out of conference matchups while we were getting ran off the floor.
Seems to me like this year every so called big conference was left sitting out in the cold, parity maybe catching up.
There is one team from a power 5 conference, one from a power 6 conference (Big East) and two from minor conferences in the final four. There is a lot of embarrassment to go around for the power conferences.
To be honest, I couldn't care less about how good the SEC is or isn't year to year. I care about UK, that's it.
Ummm ... who is going to tell this guy it's not just Bama, UT, Auburn, or Arkansas that has been crapping the bed every year?
The transfer portal is going to create alot of years like this. The mid majors can go their to supplement their weakness and make them competitive.
Yep KY middle of the pack on a shitty basketball conference oh well guess we could be Vandy oh wait disregard that last statement.
Except Mizzou, they should have made the sweet 16 the minute zona got beat
Yeah, I thought about them and Texas AM. But that’s the nature of the tournament. Overall, I think the SEC did okay in the NCAAT. Nothing great, but nothing terrible.
They did, like you said outside bama who should still be playing, and Kentucky just because I’m a fan and will Always think they should win
No conference has competent officials. There’s relative degrees of awfulness in the college game.
But we at least have 9 titles compared to 2 for the rest of the league so have we been reaching expectations? No but we have historically done more than anyone else in the leaue.
I don't think anyone, especially me, is acting like it is everyone but UK. We definitely as the flagship program need to do better but these other teams need to get to the final four or win some titles.
I couldn't possibly care less how the rest of the league is doing in the tournament when we are doing poorly ourselves. Clearly we have been the cream of the crop historically. I'd like to keep it that way, I really don't think it matters how well anyone else in the league is doing.
I think it has been established that you don't since you have mansplained it several times. Feel free to move on to another thread that you want to complain about if this one irks you that much. 🙄
Fair, but hey that's what message boards are for. I have never been able to wrap my head around the concern for how other teams from the SEC are doing in the tournament.
I totally agree with your first sentence, but cmon man. Under ZERO circumstances should ANYONE EVER pull for Duke lol. I was soooo glad Tennessee knocked them on their ass and curb stomped them. I get so sick and tired of Jay Bilas and other "analysts" crying about how Duke should have been a 3 seed blah blah blah, they are the hottest team in the country..blah blah blah! Sorry had to rant about that.
I don't necessarily care other than the fact a guy I know is a fan of an ACC team and he is constantly ribbing me over how the ACC does compared to the SEC. To be honest the SEC teams usually root against UK in the tournament and for that they all deserve to lose every game they play but for my sanity they need to do at least better than the ACC. 😂
They had went on a win streak because they played 2 Quad 1 games from December 6th until the NCAA tournament.
Exactly. And its a common theme that what you do in your conference tournament means absolutely nothing when the ncaa tournament starts. Ask Arizona, Purdue, Alabama how that worked out haha.
That's my sticking point. None of these clowns around the SEC are ever rooting for UK. I live in Tennessee and I can assure you they are all rooting for UK to lose in the tournament. Same for every other fan of an SEC team. If we are handling our business they can all lose early for all I care. Give me a hard time about the SEC if you want, ACC fan. I'm a fan of Kentucky and that's it. That's what I would say to your boy
When I watched the ESPN selection show and the whole panel picked Duke to win it all I just laughed. They are supposed to be experts and yet they think this team who struggled to win in a league that was hot garbage all year was going to go on a magical run because they were on a "hot streak".
