Cumulative 130-10 record over those 4 seasons. Undefeated versus SEC competition. Won 3 "national" championships and 1 "world" championship.
Not bad. Pretty darn good, actually.

That’s the era when they would let an assistant football coach in some of the SEC schools coach basketball so they could earn extra money
But hey, winning is winning!
I have be correctly accused of having a 'football fetish'. You know, someone who doesn't think football is the warm up sport to basketball season.
I Guess You Could Say Rupp Had It Easy In SEC For 40 Years
Really the SEC didn’t start playing bigtime basketball (top to bottom) until it integrated its teams in the 1970’s.

Regardless
The SEC was mostly cupcakes until integration.
