SEC Basketball is an embarrassment

[STL_Cat]

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.

It kind of means something for Kentucky. None of our teams that have lost early in our conference tournament have made deep runs in the NCAA tournament. All of our teams that made deep runs in the NCA tournament have at least made it to the final of the SEC tourney. So it has been a little bit of a predictor for us at least.

SEC Final Four teams

Auburn 2019
South Carolina 2017
Kentucky 2011, 2012, 2014, 2015
Florida 2000, 2006, 2007, 2014
LSU 2006

That’s it for the last 23 years. You’d have to back to 1996 to find a different SEC team that made the final four.

SEC has NEVER truly been a basketball league. Let's be honest !!!

They had went on a win streak because they played 2 Quad 1 games from December 6th until the NCAA tournament.

That Quad junk is deceptive though, hell one of their wins over Miami is counted as a Quad 2 win while the other two are Quad 1. First time they played NC State (which is in your time frame) that was a Quad 1 matchup. Second time they played State was a Quad 2.

Shut up Dukie and go back to your board of Merry Men where you ban people who aren't dUKe fans.

The fact that they are getting 7-8 teams in the tournament but crapping the bed every year has to be embarrassing to the league office. To get any respect on a national level these teams like Bama, UT, Auburn and Arkansas are going to have to start winning games and a title or the SEC will just be overrated like the Big 10.

We had 3 teams in the Sweet 16. That's pretty decent, all things considered.

Now, enter Chris Beard...

At least we haven't sunk to Big Ten levels yet.

I’d leave in a heartbeat for the ACC if it was my decision. 😂 Easier football conference and better basketball conference.
