I agree it's pretty much an even comparison. Was just disproving the notion that Kentucky Basketball is only dominant on a conference level because of the strength of conference.

Yea, that is silly. Basketball's tournament means you have to prove yourself against multiple elite teams from outside your league to win a title, even in the old days with a smaller tournament.

Even if this was true, which it its not, Rupp, was known for playing anybody, anytime, and anywhere. Quite simply, UK was the best because they beat the best. This was also the case in the Tubby years as under his tenure UK had a Top 10 to Top 20 RPI every year he was coach. Not many basketball schools have been known for scheduling that tough.
