WBB : SEC stacked especially in the East (yes I know there are no divisions)

The SEC East is to Women's basketball what the SEC East is to baseball.

Hey West....YOU SUUUUUUCCCCCKKKKK!!!

Well, not historically…

Women's Final Fours and National Championships by SEC schools

Tennessee = 8 Championships, 5 Runner Ups, and 18 Final Fours between 1982 and 2008
Georgia = 0 Championships, 2 Runner Ups, and 5 Final Fours between 1983 and 1999
LSU = 0 Championships, 0 Runner Ups, and 5 Final Fours between 2004 and 2008
Auburn = 0 Championships, 3 Runner Ups, and 3 Final Fours between 1988 and 1990
Texas A&M = 1 Championships, 0 Runner Ups, and 1 Final Fours in 2011
Alabama = 0 Championships, 0 Runner Ups, and 1 Final Fours in 1994
Arkansas = 0 Championships, 0 Runner Ups, and 1 Final Fours in 1998
Vanderbilt = 0 Championships, 0 Runner Ups, and 1 Final Fours in 1993
South Carolina = 0 Championships, 0 Runner Ups, and 1 Final Fours in 2015

Ole Miss reached the Elite Eight 5 times (1985, 1986, 1989, 1992, and 2007)
Kentucky reached the Elite Eight 4 times (1982, 2010, 2012, and 2013)
Florida reached the Elite Eight in 1997

Missouri reached the Sweet Sixteen in 1982 and 2001
Mississippi State reached the Sweet Sixteen in 2010

Auburn had Nell Fortner who came from La Tech (where the current Baylor success comes from) and Purdue. You now see her on TV discussing WBB during the season.

Carolyn Peck played for Vanderbilt before working her way up through Tennessee and Kentucky. From there she won a NC for Purdue with a recruit from Scott County, KY. She finished her career at Florida before doing WBB games for ESPN (she calls many SEC games) and I saw her last week at the UK vs UL game in Rupp.

Peck was Fortner's assistant at Purdue which they won with the KY girl. Was always bummed all 3 won this for the B1G instead of the SEC.

Gary Blair was the Arkansas coach that took them to the Final Four before he was hired away by Texas A&M and won them a National Championship. His top assistant is the current coach at Mississippi State and is why they are doing well now.

Andy Landers spent his career (retired last year) with Georgia. I think he finished with 800 - 900 career wins.

Jim Foster was at Vanderbilt for over a decade. He is the current HC at UT Chattanooga where the Mocs have been know to take down a good SEC team or two. While you may never have heard of him, you probably have heard of at least to of his assistants (Geno Auriemma and Muffet McGraw).

Sue Gunter put LSU on the WBB map and her assistant (Pokey Chapman) took them to another 3 Final Fours.

SEC, both East and West, is loaded with WBB history and talent. Just wish ESPN would give us more exposure instead of conferences with less history. Recruiting today is all about media love and all time SEC WBB may be the best conference top to bottom yet you never get that feel from ESPN programming.

Thank dear, just get froggy when folks forget the history or don't know the history of the conference. Did not mean to type as much as I did, just sort of flowed out. And here is a safe spot compared to the main board. I love that the Cocks are getting behind the team and coach. Wish this was more common.

I like Peck and since she had SEC roots she gives the SEC love on ESPN when she can. The rest of them are usually just arse kissing the ACC or Uconn. Besides I really like the way she talks. :)

I have been took I have a great phone voice but on camera I would look like a really old, really white Booger McFarland and nobody wants to see that on TV.

One name proves that wrong:

Lou Holtz.



And no worries on the lesson you game me...it was much appreciated, actually.

Not SEC, but a big milestone was hit last night!

With Old Dominion's 83-64 victory at Howard on Tuesday, the team and coach Karen Barefoot added another chapter: The Lady Monarchs became the fourth Division I program to amass 1,000 victories, joining Tennessee, Louisiana Tech and James Madison. (Tennessee began keeping records in 1903, James Madison's records date to 1920, ODU started keeping track in 1969 and Louisiana Tech began in 1974.)

Several chapters document a glorious time, recalling national championship victories over coaches such as Pat Summitt, Leon Barmore and Andy Landers. And the plot thickens with the program's resurgence in 1997, when the southeastern Virginia university -- highly regarded for its business, engineering and distance learning programs -- reached the Final Four alongside Tennessee and modern-day stalwarts Stanford and Notre Dame.
