Also, Rick Barnes is backtracking on his "we're not playing them anymore" comment.



Rick Barnes is a bitch. Every time I hear something this guy has said it's something about not wanting to play some team or another. What a pussy.

ETA: and the answer is Memphis. It isn't even close. All this Johnny Come Lately stuff is stupid. Memphis has a frick ton more prestige than Tennessee. Asterisks maybe, but Kentucky has plenty of those and nobody denies they're a great program. They haven't overachieved either. This isn't football. You don't need 85 guys. At Memphis they probably have enough ball players in their immediate area to stay competitive. Memphis has a tradition of winning basketball. They're always gonna get players and they're always going to be one coaching hire from being at the top of the rankings.

I believe UT has had a top 10 SOS in the nation every year since RB has been coach. We consistently play 6 or 7 quality noncon opponents each year.

Your post makes you sound like you’re still butthurt over losing to Western Kentucky... in both sports.

Edit: To my point... UT plays Washington, FSU, VCU, Memphis, Cincinnati, Wisconsin and Kansas this year. Arky plays Georgia Tech, Indiana and TCU, and the rest are all cupcakes. They lost to WKU by the way lol.

Rick Barnes & Tennessee schedules better than anyone in the conference not named Kentucky. Not only do they schedule some of the best teams in the country, they're beating those teams in many cases. The Rant and the basketball world at large understands that your basketball program has been dead for the better part of 20+ years with no wins against elite teams in eons, but atleast be accurate with the lies that you're spewing.

To the OP -- The answer is Memphis (Despite them having a losing record H2H vs UT and getting crushed in their own place by Barnes last year). Tennessee is making a lot of noise these days, but they're still behind Memphis in terms of accolades.
