History distorts things a little. UK won four of those national championships when the NIT was the premier tournament. Also, UK plays in the SEC. And in the "old" days the SEC was truly a joke when it came to college basketball. You really did have teams where the football players played to stay in shape. Pretty much facts. UK does have the best overall record in basketball wins. Big deal. I consider North Carolina and Kansas records more respectable because they did it in basketball first conferences. As for Cal..he has to live and die by his approach to college basketball. Which is a joke within itself. UK fans really have drunk the Kool-Aid. The guy has had five straight number one recruiting classes in a row. One national championship to show for it. UCLA and what Wooden accomplished will never be repeated again. As for the zone being a "pansy" defense??? How ignorant is that? Syracuse and Jim Boheim have made a living playing zone. Pitino has been successful with deploying it. The NBA even uses it occasionally. It's very much a part of the game. One thing I found amusing about UK and Baylor? Two the college games biggest cheats coaching against each other.

Did u just call the big 12 a basketball conference??? How many schools in the big 12 have basketball titles besides Kansas? Oklahoma an Texas football are the money makers for that conference and OK state and Baylor are now more football schools as well. As for UNC the ACC had UNC and DUKE one title from NC state and some good years from Virginia in the 80's but what else.two dominant schools make it a dominant basketball conference? It will be now that Louisville Pitt and Syracuse have joined but that doesn't help UNC's or Duke's Past accomplishments I would argue that if you take UK Florida and Arkansas and match it up against UNC Duke and NC state the numbers are pretty comparable.
