First 6 Conference Games Tough Stretch

[Hards Alumni]

Last year 7 teams from the top 6 major conferences won 20 games or more (actually 6 of them won 21 games) and still didn't make the tournament: Iowa, ASU, Virginia, Maryland, Alabama, Kentucky & Tennessee.  

With 20 or fewer wins, only Villanova, Minnesota, California, and Oklahoma made the tournament.

The "magic number" for a major conference doesn't appear to be 20--it appears to stand at 22 wins.

Usually.  7 didn't make it, 4 did.   Last year.
