You can make fun of my comments all you want but anyone older than 25 years old can remember a time when the SEC was an elite basketball conference by any measure. I don't know how old you are but you act as if you think the league has always been this crappy in basketball. It hasn't. The last 5 years in particular is far and away the worst this league has been top to bottom in my lifetime. Alabama went 12-4 in the SEC a couple of years ago and still didn't get into the NCAA tournament. That would have been unheard of 15 or 20 years ago.

I make fun of your comments because as I saw the other day you seem to think SEC bad = the state of basketball is bad, when that couldn't be farther from the truth.
I agree.
Considering some of our OOC losses it wasn't that crazy we were left out. We were in the last 4 out group they release every year. That was when the conference still had divisional play and the West was awful. If we had won one more game in the SEC tournament we would have made it in.

In the 80s and early 90s, that would have gotten you a top three seed in a regional.
