re: This is exactly why the SEC gets no respect in Basketball.

The SEC gets far too much respect. One team in the Elite 8 in the last four years. Last year, nobody past Sweet 16. And still gets 8 in again this year.

Meanwhile, the Big East only gets 3 in. They are 1-2-3 seeds. Their 4th place team beat all three of them and went 21-12, but got left out.
