Only 15 wins separate KU and UK all-time (2,263 vs 2,248) which is negligible. Furthermore, KU has dominated the Big 8/12 more than Kentucky has the SEC (what's KU's conference title streak at currently?). And historically, the Big 8/12 has been regarded as a better basketball conference than the SEC.
If you asked a group of college hoops experts to rank programs, MU would be well ahead of programs like Mississippi State and South Carolina - and you know it.
