re: Sec is the best basketball conference in the country

While I definitely wouldn't say it's the best, it's definitely better than it's perceived to be. Sure, there are clunkers, but there are in every conference, including the supposed all-mighty ACC. If all the SEC schools emphasized basketball at the level that they emphasize football, I firmly believe we could be a conference to be reckoned with in basketball. I do think it's also beginning to be more paid attention to, so hopefully we can start to be thought of as more than just football.
