Is the SEC West(as we define it) the deepest division in Bball going forward in the NCAA?

Hard to say considering how hard it can be to sustain success in basketball.

Nah SEC West is top heavy, Bama & Arky then everyone else well below those 2.

Really struggling to get going here, eh?

I think the SEC is the deepest conference in basketball
In the last 4 tournaments
9 different teams made the sweet 16
4 of those made the elite 8
2 of those made the final four

Well duh, and if that happens I’ll change it to just sweet 16 to fit my narrative

the big 12 south (you're making the rules, not me)

texas
oklahoma
oklahoma state
baylor
texas tech

and they don't even have to include tcu since they were never in the big 12 south. checkmate fake thread topic, checkmate

I'll disagree. But the SEC is becoming a contender for that title. Definitely not there yet. But I'm not surprised at all by these numbers. I remember, I guess about 8 years ago, street a big TV football deal was signed, every SEC school seemed to start spending a lot more money on basketball coaches. I was shocked by every signing, and how much better they were then I expected to be hired. And the coaches that didn't work out, have been by other coaches on the rise.

Then some schools started upgrading facilities. And I expect more to follow. As Nate Oats said when asked if he minded coaching at a football school, football makes a lot of money and I'm glad to spend it. There's been talks for years about fixing that shithole, Coleman. I'm hoping this current run gets the boosters signing more checks. And once Bama does it, more will follow suit.

SEC basketball has tons of potential. And while basketball is still a strong second fiddle, everyone down south loves running and talking shite. Once people get a taste of success in March, that'll start to get hooked.
