My God, the SEC was even better than I thought. SEC up 12-1 with NC St, Duke, and VT in close games.
This shouldn't come as any real big surprise. And this isnt all NIL. The SEC has maybe like 12 of the best 25 or so coaches in college basketball. You can argue about the list and I'm not sure who all should or shouldn't be on it but the collection of coaches they have is just incredible. Does it remind you this:
Calhoun, Boeheim (in prime), Dixon, Huggins, Buzz, Cronin, Wright, Brey. There's a reason that old Big East was really good. College basketball will always be a coach's game. College football is a player's game. There's enough good basketball players in this country to find 3 good ones and then some capable complementary players. Pitt will be ok but the rest of the ACC is an abortion. And its not even that all the coaches are that bad. We just have a bunch of average coaches and that's just not going to cut it vs the ACC.
This SEC, this year, may be the best conference of all time. They could get 13 or 14 teams in the tournament. If the ACC & BE only combine for 7 or 8, its possible. Not likely, but possible.
