Remind me again, was it Alabama or Arkansas or both that won a natty in their Sweet 16? If you’re not first you’re last.

Yeah, basketball doesn't work like that.

National championships are coveted but there are 360+ basketball teams competing for a tournament bid.

Only about 10% of those have ever won one title, and maybe 15 schools total have won multiple times.

For a lot of programs (including historically most of the SEC), just finishing in the top-whatever is still a big deal.
