re: Frank Martin is frustrated with the lack of recognition the SEC gets in MBB

He's right to an extent. I think there are so many pre-conceived notions about different conferences, and it's bullshite. Besides Auburn and Mizzou, there is nowhere in the SEC that is a gimme on the road. That doesn't mean every team is average, it means there is a lot of parody and quality teams. Every year the SEC has multiple teams make the Sweet 16, so why does it still get hated on?

The media overhypes conferences like the Big 12. So they can have teams that have 6 losses but still be top 25 because they lost to other "quality" opponents.
