SEC is clearly the big winner. ACC the big loser thanks to an assist from Xavier.
Percentage of tournament teams advincing to the Sweet 16...
SEC: 3/5 - 60%
PAC10: 3/6 - 50%
Big12: 2/4 - 50%
Big East: 2/6 - 33%
Big 10: 1/6 - 17%
ACC: 1/7 - 14%
It's interesting, Navin, but is it telling? Certainly, some of it goes to chance, but does it delineate strength of conference?
That's a good point. You could have an extremely tough conference, with 10+ teams getting in the dance. But if they're all seeded 7-10 and run into the buzz saw of #1 and #2 seeds? You might be left with almost nothing. Is it then a weak conference? No way.
