It is a football mad conference that has no other "blue bloods" other than you. Yes there are schools that have had success in the past and won NC but none take it anywhere close to the extent that UK does. It must be tough to have your biggest games against non conference teams then get to the SEC schedule...it has to be a letdown.
 
This is not the year that we need to be putting other SEC teams down. We will be lucky to win 3 road games this year in conference.

Just stating fact...your big games are against Louisville, Duke, NC, Kansas...etc...the blue bloods of college basketball. Arkansas and Florida at one time was as close to that as you got in the SEC...maybe Tennessee when Bruce Pearl was the coach.
 
Whether you want to admit it or not UL is an elite program. They have won 3 champinships.

Are you retarded? Let's see Kansas is the only Blue Blood in the Big 12,the ACC has Duke and UNC but they don't play every game against each other,the SEC from top to bottom is as good as any other conference,has as many National Championships as any other conference,and has as many good teams as any other conference.
Trolls crawl out from under rocks after a loss
 
I don't think OP is a UK fan and I don't think he is trying to come across as one. I get what he's implying.

yeah, referring to UK as "you" instead of "us", pretty clear. I don't think he's watched much SEC basketball though, it's always tough to win on the road in this conference.

It really isn't. Every away game for UK in the SEC is the biggest home game on that teams schedule. you really think a road game against LSU or Mississippi state is any different than a road game against NC State or Virginia Tech. The drop off from the ACC to the SEC is no where near as steep as some want to believe. Overall stronger conference, yes, but the SEC has teams than can play and UK gets their best shot. Hardly a let down when you are playing teams excited and pumped to be playing you with enough talent to take you down if you don't bring it yourself.

Absolutely. After the spanking we got at LSU, Alabama will even more fired up thinking they can grab a home win too.
