The three teams listed would have been a tall order for any team...they are most likely better than any teams anybody would play. Weak arguement imo. might give ya the bad habits point. if undefeated youre not complacent.

playing a bunch of weak SEC teams 2 times per week doesn't prepare a team for the NCAA final 4.

There is nothing UK can do to alter this though. UK isn't leaving the SEC. Better bball schools aren't joining the SEC.

Heck Donovan may be leaving Florida and they will probably become permanently mediocre. Maybe Pearl or another coach can step up and give UK a challenge once a year. But the SEC is usually weak and will likely remain weak.

There is nothing UNC can do about 23 years of AFAM.



You are not getting top kids anymore
Roy will be fired
ncaa will vacate many wins, sanctions, and put you on probation
Forever tainted image
The sec is getting better coaches and are getting better recruiting classes. Who have you signed? GBB

With so much parity in college basketball this is a stupid post. The SEC is a very physical conference & was better than last year. One team last year (Florida) doesn't mean the overall conference was stronger last year...and it wasn't.

Scheduling had nothing to do with losing last night. We made some very bad, uncharacteristic decisions the last 5:00 minutes that lost the game. We had the game won last night after we grabbed the 4 pt lead & just quit attacking giving Wisconsin plenty of opportunities to tie the game & set up their go ahead 3 with just over a minute left.

You are either very young or just naive to think it's that simple. We lost...plain & simple, to a good team at that. That's basketball! Good grief!!

so playing against, duke, Virginia, Louisville, NC state, and ND night in, night out wouldn't have better prepared your players and team for the toughest three game stretch of your season? I don't have a point?
ACC teams do not play the teams you listed 'night in, night out', there are other teams in the conference. If you're saying Duke is in the championship for that reason your just....STUPID!! They have talent. There a good team. They played good their last 2 games & that's what it comes down to: playing good at the right time.

Again, your post & logic shows your youth.

Moron, UK played North Carolina, UCLA and then AT Louisville. I'd say playing 3 Sweet Sixteen teams in a row qualifies as decent. Don't post if you don't have any clue. Step away from the keyboard....

Well....we beat the only two ACC teams we faced....including your dirty program Tarheels. UNC is a joke to college basketball.

Yes, we have it backwards. We play against teams who couldn't care less about basketball. And our football team beats their head against the wall with teams that are as passionate for football as we are are with basketball. Why we have remained in the SEC has always been a question by me. If we played in the ACC, for example, we would be challenged more in basketball (and probably get even better), while our football challenge would be a little less "impossible".
