Yeah I'm definitely saying arizona basketball holds more clout than frickin arkansas. I can name a few more programs that are better than arky too. They have a good history but they aren't a top flight program. Florida and kentucky are better than arky In their own conference. How many blueblood programs do you think there are? People who follow basketball know who the frick arizona is. Arkansas? Yeah right.

Clemson has been a good program since like 2011. Gonzaga has been a consistent program since like 1998. Such a dumb comparison since I've also seen it in reference to UF.

Gonzaga is top dog in their conference and basketball is king there. It's a good gig and Gonzaga might be a better program at this point. That isn't a knock on Arkansas, either. Gonzaga is a top 20 or so program

They are near mirror teams in terms of the NCAA and winning pct.


They have about 6-7 more NCAA appearances and 5 more Sweet 16s. The win % is somewhat close but that gap is widening yearly. Even more impressive when you consider Arizona plays against much better competition historically

They are very close, but Arizona def has surpassed Arkansas and they aren't looking back

As long as you're admitting Clemson is the best CFB program then we are all good.

I think 2 when counting their vacated seasons for cheating so you're wrong.

Arkansas has 2 more Final Fours. Most would say they are more important by a wide margin.

It is but those swing depending on coaching. Arkansas is on the up but I'll give you this one.

No. Actually hell to the fricking no. I almost think you are trolling when you say this shite. What did you even base this on?
UCLA? So you're basing their competition on this particular team? Well SEC has UK so you lose. Or maybe Oregon? A team that didn't make it past the 1st round of the NCAA tourney until 2002. Colorado? USC? Washington? I'm taking Vandy, LSU and Florida historically over that group and the entire world would agree.

Your whole opinion is perception based. AZ is a bigger market and a bigger draw geographically. But looking at sheer numbers you can see why you are clearly wrong.

Yeah it's somewhat ridiculous to call the Pac-10 a historically great basketball conference.

Playing in the SEC Tournament all of sudden makes Arkie a BLUEBLOOD Program?

Yall have not been to the dance very much since winning the title back when Bubba was in office.

Love me some a hog fans...they never fail to deliver on here

I will add, I think Kentucky loses,today...but it DOES NOT MAKE ARKIE A BLUEBLOOD.

Gonzaga is a better program, than Arkansas for two decades. That's a long time.

Let's start with that before Michigan state and Arizona

Seriously. Who cares about Sidney moncrief anymore? What Kid playing today knows who the frick US Reed is.
I'm not a big fan of gonzaga, but it's been a better program for awhile

And don't kid yourself. Gonzaga would be just fine on the SEC in basketball

Football not so much

I honestly have to ask if Gonzaga has ever made it past the sweet 16. I fill out multiple brackets and know to leave the Zags out after the 1st round due to them being a terrible program with no hope of beating multiple decent teams. Gonzaga is the Boise St of the CBB world. But even Boise beats good teams every now and then on a big stage.

didn't win hardly anything before k got there in the early 90s. They've been great for 30 years because they have one of the top 2 greatest college basketball coaches of all time. If some, michigan State and Arkansas aren't considered blue bloods in your book neither is duke

what program is 'always' in the running for the title. certainly not LSU. it is fluctuates from season to season.

alabama has a good recent run but that is not typical over time.

Clemson football appears to living in your head rent free.

Clemson had three 9 win seasons under Bowden and i think the ACC was tougher overall in the 00's. is 9 wins not enough to qualify as a good program?

in the 90's, the worst decade at Clemson in modern era, Clemson still had one 10 win season and two 9 win seasons.

They made the Sweet 16 as an 11 seed last year and Elite 8 two years ago.

Arkansas and Kentucky for the championship. As it has been so many times, as it should be. The two flagbearers of the conference. Posers come and fizzle out, but the two steadfast programs remain at the top. Looking forward to a great game, Cats.


This is actually very pathetic...trying to place Arkansas in the same conversation with Kentucky. Hogs can't carry Kentucky's jockstrap.

Anyone who considers Gonzaga a serious basketball program or tournament team can't be taken seriously in life.

And yes Gonzaga is better than Arkansas this year. They've been better than Arkansas a ton in the last 20 years. Will Gonzaga ever win a championship? No. It's actually laughable to think they ever will. Could Arkansas? Yeah they could catch lightening in a bottle again and win. Just as Florida can. Gonzaga is not a serious threat to go anywhere and never will.
