Fans all across the world are anxiously awaiting those great basketball games starring Ucon against UCF, Cincy, East Carolina, Tulane, power house USF, Houston, and Tulsa, etc. Fantastic marquee matchups. All seats filled. Every year the appetite grows for more of these must-see basketball games.
The same could be said about Missouri, Ole Miss, Georgia, Arkansas, Vandy, Florida, Auburn, and Alabama. Yup, folks are just itchin to see those high quality games. Can't wait for the next Ole Miss Alabama matchup... it'll be a real humdinger for sure.
It's time for the SEC to come into the 21st century and begin to play modern ball.
Boo
Lets assume for the sake of argument just for this moment that I agree with you that the SEC game is rough and tough enough to beat up the UConn team to the point that they lose at least some of those games and/or that they dont get as far into the tourney as they otherwise would have.
What this says about the SEC game is not something to be proud of if basketball is a game you love. What it says about all SEC fans, including those few Neanderthal fans looking for blood and guts on the court, is that they value brutality over skill. Bruises over basketball.
What is says is that the fans of the SEC WCBB game value an elbow to the ribs more than they value a perfectly executed pick and roll. What is says is that a knee to the thigh is valued more than a beautifully executed backdoor cut. What it says is that a forearm shove to the neck is of more value than ball movement.
What it says is that the SEC fans values dirty play over skilled play. What it says is that SEC fans are not fans of basketball but instead fans of rollerball.
This ridiculous argument about the superiority of the SEC rough and tumble game does clarify one thing it explains why so many SEC fans are so often complaining about the refs as the SEC rollerball game is so very dependent upon ref intervention.
Now understand, I dont buy that argument and so I dont agree that SEC fans, outside of those few Neanderthals that all teams and conferences have, value brutality over skill so I dismiss the basis for that argument. The legal, normal and acceptable physicality of play does not lead to season fatigue nor does it lead to an uptick in injuries. I played D1 ball when I was young and there were only two things that led to fatigue as the season wore on.. The first was losing and the second were those dreaded extended road trips.
UCONN fans are so arrogant, it literally makes me sick !!! Have some class and be humble about winning! Trust, Geno won't be at the helm forever and he's the only reason most recruits go to UCONN

I can't recall Tennessee fans being so arrogant as some UCONN fans have become, when we were the top dog.
If you're a decent person when your team wins an NC you have some class and don't go all Bozo, if you are a jerk and your team wins you will act like a Bozo.
To come on our forum and pretend you want to talk basketball, but your real intention is to insult us and act like you invented basketball is bull. And the mods know it.

What are you if you belittle an opposing team, coach, their conference and even their fans? :
I guess I really do not understand, but why would Someone join a team's site to make fun of its fans and question their character? I am sure that all team sites say bad things about the competition. I would never get on UCONN's fan site and get into arguments with their fans. I could care less what they think of Tennessee or our coaching staff and players. All you mostly get on fan sites are opinions and guesses. The worth of a team and/or conference is decided on the floor no matter what fans think or say.:banghead2:

RT you have always been a decent poster....I'm not putting down UConn, you, or Geno. Your conference is not considered a power conference, but so what. The teams all try and give 100% effort. That is all any fan can want.
All of this team hatred is so stupid. We are nothing more than interested observers with keyboards.. If and when you guys win another NC, then good for you. Regardless of whomever wins, my life won't change one iota either way, and I don't suppose yours will either..

Why?
Did you watch Saturday night's game?
Are you watching the AAC Championship game later on (Sunday)?
Maybe if the UConn men or women ever left their home court to play a conference tournament game you could actually take it seriously....
