I think historically the SEC is the third best basketball conference. Kentucky has 8 titles, Florida 2 and Arkansas 1.
The ACC North Carolina has 6, Duke has 5 and Louisville 2.
Big Ten Indiana 5, Michigan State 2, Maryland 1, Michigan 1 and Ohio State 1
I am going from memory on my numbers above and they may be wrong but close. The SEC is more competitive in basketball than any other conference is in football by a factor of 10.
Football ain't close.
