Most teams get battle tested in their conference schedule. Look at Memphis, talk about a joke of a conference, but they hover around #5 every year and how many final fours or championship games have they been to since Calipari took over?

SEC is/was EXTREMELY top heavy... [/ QUOTE ] Agreed. I'll even take it a step farther, and say that it was top-heavy just in the SEC East. Florida, Tennessee, Vanderbilt, and Kentucky: all in the East. The best team in the SEC West was Mississippi, at 20-12 (8-8). They missed the NCAAs. The SEC has made strides in basketball, but is nowhere near on par with the ACC/Big East. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beano5 14 Report Share Posted December 8, 2007 so if the SEC is no longer the big conference....who is...the Big East?? Big 12?? because in basketball THIS year...both the Big East and the Big 12 have very good teams....Georgetown is in the top 5 and then Kansas and Texas are both in the top 5...Texas beat then ranked number 2 UCLA at UCLA and proved themselves to the college basketball fans there....these three teams big tests will be how they play in conference...i know Texas has Kansas at Texas and then they play at Texas A&M on the road and at home....so we will see just how strong this young Texas team is then...Kansas not sure on their schedule but i would say they have a very good schedule like always...and Georgetown has Louisville and WVU who can both give them very good games...so my final four is....Georgetown...Texas...UNC...Kansas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GetMoney55 11 Report Share Posted December 9, 2007 yeah the SEC really has never ever been the strong conference. It's always been one or two teams that you need to worry about and then the rest you can sweep under the rug. The BIg 12 is strong this year. As for that victory over UCLA, let me remind you that UCLA is playing without one of the best players in the country. Texas played them very well, but for UCLA to be leaning on a freshman without the support of Collison, it's tough. I think when Collison comes back, UCLA will be the team to beat.

Guest BEAVERTAIL Report Share Posted December 9, 2007 UNC is the team to beat, without question. they have been plaing injured as well, with the most valuable player they have on the bench for a few games. Ty Lawson makes their offense go under Roy WIlliams system, and for them to beat a top 25 team without him proves they are the team to beat. They have the best starting 5 in all of the country, without question. Not to mention they are deep, with 9 players who average over 10 minutes a game. Wayne "the rain" ellignton is averaging 17 points a game, and with that is almost 50% from behind the line. Tyler Hansborough is averaging a double double and proving that he is the best big man in college basketball once again. Ty lawson is hampered by an ankle injury but yet is still the fastest man in the NCAA's with a basketball. Danny Green has been a pleasant surprise, averaging 14 points a game, to go along with 4.4 rebounds. Then you have the other frontcourt duo in Deon Thompson and Alex Stephenson, who both complement each others game very well. Mark my words, deon will have a HUGE game soon. also on the bench you have Ginyard, Thomas, Frasor, who have all started at one point for the Tar Heels. They have arguably the most experienced bench. And the one other man on that bench, Roy williams, is the best coach in the country, surmounting 500 wins faster than any other coach in history. the Tar Heels are the team to beat. period.
