Watch: Calipari warns 'don't put 3 SEC teams in the Elite Eight'

The SEC is undoubtedly the best football conference in the country, but is often looked down on during basketball season.

The conference's performance in this year's tournament came close to flipping that narrative, and Kentucky head coach John Calipari has a warning for the rest of the country.

Following the Wildcats' epic win over UCLA in the Sweet 16 on Friday, the legendary coach let everyone know, "don't put three SEC teams in the Elite Eight."

South Carolina is already through, and with Florida holding off Wisconsin in the final contest of the night, the Gators join Kentucky and the Gamecocks as the third SEC team in the final eight.
