Texas is no.1. Who cares if ut lost the national championship, there gonna destroy everyone in march madness.
I'm surprised it didn't come this weekend. But I will still be chanting SEC when any of them play a non-SEC opponent. I'm LAME that way.
Honestly, I didn't think UK was caught up in the SEC! SEC! chant. My impression was UK and Arkansas weren't much into it but all of the others were. I just learned something.
Maybe my family are unique UK fans, but we always root for the other SEC schools in non-conference play. Our school traditionally is not a football school where you see more of the SEC chant, though we have been bowling the last four years, but even in basketball non-conference wins by those you beat are important. We celebrate when other SEC schools win... and lambaste them when they lose because it makes our wins lesser.
No, I don't. I'm a complete n00b to the sport of college basketball. I also could care less about national standings during the season as they mean absolute chit come conference championship time and the March tournament. I just don't get SECBSH's. I root for one team in the Big 12, Texas. No others, ever. You would never catch me rooting for a&m, Oklahoma, Tech, etc. no matter what.
I didn't mean that you literally didn't understand... I mean that you don't comprehend the solidarity behind the concept. And that's fine for you... when the Big 12 conference continually loses to the ACC or SEC and you only get three teams into March Madness then that's just fine with me. Personally, the more SEC schools that do well outside of the conference, the better our chance at a #1 NCAA seed is going to be after we beat them, and that makes me happy.
If we win, we will be a #1 seed. I personally don't care if we are the only Big 12 team in the tournament. RPI and strength of schedule are not the end all be all when it comes to tourney seeding, unlike the BCS. Also, our basketball team usually plays a pretty good non-conference schedule -- with UNC, MSU, and UConn, that's 3 top 15 teams out of conference. We also beat USC by 19 -- the team that lambasted Tennessee by 22. All that is to say -- good teams control their own destiny. OU, A&M, etc. losing hurts their ability to recruit in the future, and dominating those programs over many years makes me happy.
