Good thing there are those of us out there who can actually think with reason and support our opinions with facts and not emotion. <BR/><BR/>Sorry that your team, VCU, didn't get in. But to claim that the SEC is inferior to the ACC is ludicrous. The ACC's rating was based on 4 excellent teams, but the ACC takes a steady fall from there. I won't waste time elaborating on what G. S. has said regarding the facts. <BR/><BR/>Bottom line, the Selection Committee has answered this issue for us. <BR/><BR/>Results:<BR/><BR/>SEC-6 ACC-4<BR/><BR/>UK is a horrible team? NO. They "were" a horrible team. They overcame, came together, and found out how to win. <BR/><BR/>Analyze the facts. That is what they will say.mcgruff1971https://www.blogger.com/profile/08654904677578767678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5003005976422676915.post-20386569780222450012008-03-17T13:43:00.000-04:002008-03-17T13:43:00.000-04:00Is this all on your gut feeling, or do you statist...Is this all on your gut feeling, or do you statistically have any proof that the ACC is better than the SEC this year. If you don't, here's a statistic for you: SEC= 6 teams in the tournament... ACC... wait for it.... =4 teams in the tournament. So much for your superior conference. Granted, the SEC doesn't necessarily have a DUKE or a UNC this year, but after that, you fall off hard, as usual. As for the Gardner-Webb loss, it's not how you start, it's how you finish. UK was 9-3 in their 12 games, VT was 7-5. We finished much stronger than you all, plus we were undefeated at Rupp Arena in conference play. I'd say that fact alone more than makes up for an early loss to GWebb at home with three injuries and a brand newe coach. As for Kentucky's perceived losing record in the ACC, I'll leave you to your crystal ball and your theories while I go watch the Cat's in the tournament...Gary Schwartzenbacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09363075471127526245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5003005976422676915.post-55583469937615425812008-03-17T13:16:00.000-04:002008-03-17T13:16:00.000-04:00Blah.

There is nothing comparable between these resumes other than overall record. It isn't so much how you start, it's how you finish and UK finished strong. I do have a question, though. If UK is such a "horrible, horrible" team, then what are you implying about VT if you are saying their resumes are so similar? I do feel that VT should maybe be in at least ahead of Miami, but that still doesn't make UK a "horrible, horrible" team.Gary Schwartzenbacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09363075471127526245noreply@blogger.com
