Do wins in the SEC since that what it's talking about... Arky has had a handful of good seasons since they've arrived... they'd probably be around 6 or 7.

I would say Arkansas has had more than a handful of good seasons. I guess it really depends on what is classified as good.

You're so right. I'm a little surprised that we are that high.

Obviously the AP is meaningless but it does do a good job of showing how relevant each program has been for the most part.
Arkansas, Florida, and LSU have way overachieved in the NCAA Tournament while Bama and Tennessee have really underachieved.

Arkansas didn’t become serious about basketball until Eddie Sutton was hired in 1974. He ignited the program like Pearl is doing at auburn.

How does a school with their resources and location to top talent in the country manage to suck so bad at everything
It's not that hard when you realize that A&M was an all-male, military college (compulsory Corps of Cadets) until 1962 and until 1973 was an all-male college. It had less than 10,000 student enrollment. It's real growth only started to happen from 1990s onward. And culturally, it was a southern hick school drawing most of its population from rural Texas of first generation poor kids. Texas A&M gave route to college education and success to the "fly over country" types more than the suburban and urban types. Basketball wasn't a priority for this set.
Aggie mens basketball tasted some modicum of success only starting with Billy Gillespie's hire. Before him, Aggies even made it to the Big Dance only 6 times. Since 2006, been to the Big Dance 9 times. 5 times to the NIT in all the years before 2005, and 3 times since. Post-season NIT is obviously consolation prize, but it was nice to see the Ags make it to the NIT finals last season.
Aggie Women's basketball has had a similar but even more successful trajectory. Since Gary Blair took over in 2002, Aggies have never not been to the Big Dance after 2005 until last season under a new head coach after Blair retired. And they won 1 national championship, 2 Elite Eight, 2 conference regular season championship, 3 conference tourney championship. Gary Blair is going to be one of those coaching legends nationally.
