Or maybe Kentucky would have less?


A few, maybe, but Kentucky was Kentucky.

And Arkansas was Arkansas.

Kentucky didn't have much, if any, competition on the SEC in basketball from the 1940's until the late 1980's or early 90's.

Arkansas did have to deal with Texas in the SWC, who also won the league 19 times while Arkansas was a part of it. Texas was crowned the 1933 National Champions and went to two Final Fours in the 40's. Then you had the emergence of Houston and Phi Slamma Jamma.

The SWC wasn't a bad basketball league. Arkansas did win 22 Conference Titles, but the program had competition within the league itself.
