According to Ken Pomeroy and Danny Kanell (a noted SEC hater), Southeastern Conference men’s basketball is overrated.
“The SEC is probably overrated,” Pomeroy said on a message board.
Kanell shared Pomeroy’s post and added, “The smartest man in basketball is saying out loud what I have been thinking for the past 3 months…thank you Ken Pomeroy.”
Of course, the SEC is 185-23 in non-conference games this season. That includes a 30-4 record vs. the ACC.
SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey fired back at Kanell on X:
Just helping explain why the @SEC is “overrated:”
—30 Ws/4 Ls vs ACC (wow)
—14 Ws/2 Ls vs Big 12 (oh my)
—10 W/9 Ls vs Big Ten ()
—185 Ws/23 Ls in non-conf games ()I confess @SEC teams have a .500 record in games after 1/4/25 (). Sure, let’s go with “overrated” ()! https://t.co/LcxdSwbLMG
