    Re: SEC / Big East Basketball Challenge...WHO IS THE BEST

    Naming the best conference based on this game is a little shallow. The SEC only got five teams in and three of them lost in the first round. That doesn't make the conference good, it makes Florida and Kentucky good.
    I take back one of the people chomping at the bit to sign up on the side of the Big East. UCONN drilled Kentucky, UCONN the higher seeded team, UCONN won the conference tournament of the "supposively" toughest conference in america. I am offering up taking Kentucky against a Big East team that already beat Kentucky. A Big East team playing "great" in your own words and you are not accepting the challenge. I AM SHOCKED, ABSOLUTELY SHOCKED!!!!!! Yes, the SEC got 5 teams in and 3 lost in the first round but 2 went to the Elite 8. The Big East got 11 teams in, that is over twice as many as the SEC got in, and put 1 team in the Elite 8, that is half as many. Unlike the Big East with 246 schools, the SEC East plays round robin home and away so teams like Georgia, Tennessee, Vanderbilt had to play at Kentucky and at Florida plus play them again on their home turf. There are schools in the Big East that only played Pitt, Notre Dame, Louisville, UCONN and the other "so called" good schools of the Big East 1 time. Louisville played Pittsburgh 1 time and it was at home, played Syracuse 1 time just for an example.

    I am absolutely SHOCKED that a fan of the Big East would not relish the opportunity of supporting UCONN in tomorrow's game. UCONN that drilled Kentucky early in the season, UCONN with the most dominating player left in the tourney and 1 of the most dominating players in the country period, UCONN that won 5 games in 5 days - 4 of which were against ranked opponents in the Big East tourney, UCONN that beat an Arizona team that looked unbeatable against Duke, UCONN of the Big East Conference, plus the fact that it is an opportunity to SHUT ME UP about how not so great the Big East is and how good the SEC is, SHUTTING ME UP!!!!! Are you kidding me!!!

    I was for sure without a shadow of a doubt that Tim T would be the first one to jump at the above opportunity. I admit that I am wrong and the world is flat and cows can jump over the moon. SHOCKED!!!!!!

    A whole lot of smoke and mirrors being blown around here all season long of how great the Big East conference is/was when the PROVEN best team in the Big East conference UCONN, who won 5 games in 5 days even taking out the regular season champ Pittsburgh, regular season 3rd place Syracuse and regular season 4th place Louisville on the way to the conference title. No doubt UCONN was the best team in the Big East at the end of the season. Kentucky beat Florida 2 out of 3 meetings and the 1 loss had a 3 pointer to win the game at the buzzer go astray. Kentucky won the SEC conference title beating the snot out of Florida on a neutral floor. No doubt about it Kentucky was the best team in the SEC at the end of the season. SHOCKED that you are not backing UCONN in this challenge!!!!!!

    Kentucky Fried called and they are looking for their product. I told them that a certain team from that certain city who happened to choke on said product bones when they played that other certain team form their own state in the first round of the NCAA had stolen their product and was refusing to give it back. They have changed the name to Kentucky Fried Potato Wedges and Coleslaw. Their new slogan is "Chicken is for Losers, Winners eat Taters and Slaw"
