Every sec team is battling for second place the next 100 years. The lead is that big...

But to be fair, the current NCAA tournament hasn't always been this way.

As most of you know you had to win league to get the one invite and college basketball was regionally based for a long time.

Lots of great teams have missed out on the NCAA tournament back in the day.

No I'm not disputing the sec dominance of the Kentucky program at any point in time.

I'm just saying that pre 1980s or so it was a different animal.

Tenn fans don't give a squat about those numbers. They just want to beat the Cats whenever they can. Trying to compare all-time Tenn basketball with all-time KY basketball is the same as trying to compare all-time KY football to all-time Tenn football.

And what was the reason that UT didn’t win the league to get that invite?

Obviously the Cats would be the answer but, I do have to say that Tenn has never put the same relevance in basketball that the Cats have. Not a defense for them but, it is fact

Yes but we have a title in football, more in basketball than you in football, have won more important bowl games than your basketball team has won outside of the first weekend and we are better in football currently.
You have nothing and could win no argument to an outsider...

Barnes has done a great job creating something from nothing.

He deserves better than you dumbasses doing your equivalent of storming the court. It’s your 15 minutes... chill out and hope it can be extended.

Just a thought...

Hang a banner
They could put it right beside that ONE Elite 8 banner. Haha! That's embarrassing, by the way, to even hang that banner.

Tennessee probably won't make the Final Four this season, either. I almost feel sorry for them, being a Tennessee native, but the way these folks acted leading up to our first game and then again this evening makes me not too sad. It's called class and these Vols have none.

KY had an all time win season this year on the gridiron. Still yet, could not get past the worst team TN has fielded in its 100+ years. TN has won 45 of 49 games. So that’s football. Come Monday coach Rick Barnes wiill have rocky on Top of KY in basketball rankings yet again. So just so you know, KY is nothing more than an Ashley Judd ****** fest.
Like to reference football ion a basketball message board much. Lol. Take a look at your miserable history in college hoops and know your place with regards to kentucky.

Tennessee seniors never lost a game at home to Kentucky. Also won in Rupp.


Our senior never lost a game at home to UT either and we got all these cool banners hanging around where we beat alot of people in important games your seniors never saw those hanging in your stadium, so what's your point?

Kinda like UTs fake football championships?

Only 2 consensus 1951 1998 but claim 6

1938 1940 1950 1967 the other 4.

The 1938 and 1940 are legit imo but definitely not 1967. Not sure about 1950 but I think so.

Should really claim 1939 and 1956 over 1967.

But the real answer is 2.

Anything before the modern era is heavily biased, really unofficial and solely based on polls as opposed to winning a tournament

That's all well and good but actually shows how Calipari has let the program slip to where also-rans are passing him by.

Here is the nature of the rub with UT and UK fans....

- UT wants to act like UT football is on par with UK b-ball...and it isn't even reality in any universe.
- UT b-ball isn't quite as bad as UK football....but the chasm between the #1 above is enormous..

UT fans can't handle it.

Tennessee fan here. Great quote. Always enjoy the wins. History is undeniable.

Congratulations on the win. UK looked disinterested and got out hustled by UT, who was out to seek revenge for the previous loss.
Very impressed with Barnes and keeping these guys focused for the year: Having the luxury of three and four year players who know their roles.

My guess is LSU will wrap up the SEC regular season trophy, as they have the easiest schedule and the upper hand in wins.

The SEC tourney becomes more important for UK’s young team. Hopefully, they will bounce back against Ole Miss and get on a roll for the NCAA. They are freshmen and are up and down, but really concerned about the mental toughness right now. Ole Miss will beat them if the Cats come out with the same degree of alacrity.

From the responses on this board that is definitely the truth.

That’s reasonable enough.

I’m not sure how you claim a title with 2 losses in 1967. Seems helms bannerish.

UT went 7-2 against us in my 4 years at UK. They beat us 3 times in Lexington. Thing is the year we won both we also won a national championship. And then UT didn’t win in Lexington again for like 20 years. Your program pops up every couple decades or so, but always flops in the postseason. Just like it did last year. UT won both rs games, but lost to UK in the SEC title game. You’ll flop in the postseason season again this year.

Oh there will be LOTS of flopping.
