Yes I could.

and at that time NC State, Wake, Maryland, UNC nor Duke could even come close to Rupp's Kentucky Wildcats. Holy shit, today NC State, Wake, Maryland, and most of the ACC could not take on UK. NC St, Wake and Maryland still don't compete.

I am really sorry that you don't understand college basketball, today and then.

Why did UK dominate the SEC?

They were the best team in the damned South, not just the SEC. UNC won one title in 1957. Hell by that time UK had already won 3. The next year it would be up to 4 to UNC's 1. Plus no other ACC team was even in the contest. At that time LSU, Mississippi State, Tennessee and many other teams were superior to Wake and Maryland. GEEZE.

So don't go there because the ACC (a very young conference at that time) could and did not compete with the SEC in basketball or football.

NC State won seven conference championships during the fifties. I believe they also had multiple elite eights and a final four run.

Did I say that they did not?

What is your point? The ACC won a championship in 1957. UNC.

The ACC was not the power conference.

Bert, you asked me why didn't Duke have any FF prior to the 60s. I explained they were in a conference with other powerful basketball programs and at the time, only one team could go to the NCAA Tournament. It was because of ACC schools that the NCAA decided to allow more than one team from a conference because they complained about not having the best team represent the conference in the NCAA Tournament.

Just be lucky Kentucky never had to compete with other powerhouses and always earned the SEC's berth in the NCAA Tournament.

Not at all true, my dear Quavarius. Nothing could be farther from the truth.

Five? More like 8. 1976, 81 and 87....

I thought about that after posting, but then I realized that those 3 could also be claimed by Ohio State. Regardless, it looks like Army is quite the Blue Blood.

Does Kansas have the worst final 4 record? Final game record?

Pretty sure MSU does

 

[ExitFlagger]

I'm guessing that KU definitely leads the nation in number of losses in championship games with at least 9 attempts.

3-6 in the finals. So that makes them 12-11 overall I think.

You said no other ACC team was challenging for anything at that point or some other garbage. NC State was obviously dominating their conferences with seven titles, a final four and multiple elite eights.

The ACC is and always has been The power conference.

[thebasketballreasons]

Do vacated NCAA tournament runs count?

Everett Case was a founder of the ACC. There is no ACC without NC State.
