What Is The Best Basketball Conference Overall This Season?
- Thread starter Random UK Fan
- Start date
Big 12, and I don’t think it’s quite as close as others seem to believe. Both the Big 12 and SEC are strong at the top, but the middle and bottom you have to give to the Big 12 by a decent margin.
Big 12.
Question is, how many legit title threats are there in each conference?
The SEC has 3. I think the B12 has 2, possibly 3, if Iowa state keeps going. BIG10 has 1 and are we going to put duke with uNC as title contendors out of the ACC? Looks like Arizona is it in the PAC12 and UConn looks to stand alone out of the Big East.
What Power 6 conference is the worst?

I assume Auburn is the third? What have they done to prove they’re a legit contender? They’ve played one top 20 team and lost. Plus a loss to App St.
Oh I'm not disagreeing with what you're saying, I'm just going off the eye test with them. I mean, they look pretty legit to me.
kansas has losses to ucf and west virginia. You need to stfu. Both of auburns losses are quad 1 losses and all 16 wins of ours are by double digits. This kansas team has no depth and averafe as hell on defense.
I know the ACC is not great and perception is even worse but they are better than given credit for. Not great, but not some midmajor conference like some say either. They also outperform other conferences each year when it matters.
Eh...you remind me of many of my UK brethren during the 2010s, when UK was typically the only legit team in the conference, with the occasional good run from Florida. In reality, the SEC was trash, no matter how many times UK fans would say the conference is better than it is being given credit for...
The ACC blows. It is a joke of a conference right now, much like the SEC was for the better part of the past couple decades.
I mean, the ACC is like 9-3 against the Big 12 or something like that this year. They continually year after year outperform all other conferences when it matters. Both of those points are certainly matchup driven but when they do well every single year compared to other conferences that matters. It isn't a great conference but again, not nearly as bad as people like you think it is. And I'm someone who badly wants UNC to bolt and join the SEC.
Up until a few years ago, everyone… ..EVERYONE dumped on the SEC every year and it was a lot worse than what they're saying about the ACC right now and it's most likely because the ACC built up a ton of street cred.
I get it, it's aggravating, because it's still conference play and when you are a blue blood, or a team that is leading the conference, you not only get everyone's best shot, they have you circled on the calendar and they do shit they don't do when they play everyone else.
The problem is, teams like Wake, BC, Miami, FSU, GT and Clemson, lay down when they play everyone else.
Auburn also has 0 Q1 wins and 10 of their wins are Q3/Q4. It’s not a stretch to say that they haven’t proven themselves against top tier competition.
its a stretch for kansas fan to say shit when they just got stroked by the worst team in the big 12 last night.

I personally think the SEC has zero contenders if it's not Tennessee.
IMO the top 5 teams in the nation are
Purdue
UNC
Auburn
Tennessee
Kentucky
maybe even in that order. Not buying the Houston or UConn hype or Kansas for that matter
Yeah, I don't really disagree, though when they do get into the tournament the average ACC teams tend to play above their heads. But those teams crapping out early in the year definitely hurt. I thought some years the SEC got a bad deal as well in terms of perception. Of course now the SEC is more than legit. I do wish the ACC would invest in coaching. That is what the SEC did more than anything IMO.
I just get annoyed because it seems teams and conferences manipulate the NET with bad OOC schedules that fool the metrics and when conference play starts everything is sort of set then. If the computers think your conference is bad you are screwed. I just think the NET is garbage so am venting for the most part. I mean, look at Alabama? They lost to Clemson, lost to OSU, beat absolutely nobody and have been highly thought of all year by the media and the metrics. Why? Because they beat bad teams by double digits I guess? IDK.
I buy uconn. agree on others
Well, we'll see, but check common opponents between UK and UT. Uk is 4-1 with wins over uNC and MSU, UT is 1-4.
UK, UT and Auburn are legit title contenders though.
You damn sure won't want to see them in your bracket.

Because they refuse to do their job and help Iowa win a national championship?

My projected top 5 come Selection Sunday:
UK
uNC
UT
Houston
Purdue
In that order. I think UK has the most upside, especially with Ivisic playing.
I don't really think Purdue is going very far, it's not wise to build your team around a center in todays game and I'm not buying Arizona. Great, they have a couple of good November wins, but they've leveled off, like they always seem to do.
Wow, you're way off.on thst attempr, but okay.
Back in 2010, Brucie "has a lot of weapons".🤣
Ah, bisexual. Congratulations.I've never stayed in just one closet.
I go where I'm needed.........
Lol chill. WVU would probably be favored over auburn at home... especially with Jesse Edwards. We are still just getting our full roster.
Wvu beat auburn with less talent on their roster last year fyi. We did have a coach though.

Auburn lost to the fake Mountaineers of Appy State. Really think they could handle the real thing?
dontoh really want to talk anout somenof the teams wvu has loat to this year? App st. at home whixh is where auburn plaued would pick its score against wvu
😂 We were without basically our entire roster for most of them. Hard to win with 4 starters out and a 6 man rotation.
