PAC 12: 4 teams. 3 teams in the Sweet 16

SEC: 5 teams. 3 teams in the Sweet 16.

Not sure I understand the relevance of these numbers. Are you saying that if the SEC had, say, 7 teams in the tournament like the Big Ten, there would be more SEC teams in the Sweet 16? I totally get the point re: ACC and Big East, which each had more teams invited but fewer who advanced to next weekend, but I'm not sure getting 3 of 5 teams into the Sweet 16 is any better than getting 3 of 6 or 7.

When your basketball conference is higher rated than another and has its teams seeded higher than others, it's assumed that you will have more teams advance further.

The SEC is the lowest rated out of all the basketball power conferences, yet has the same or more teams in the Sweet 16 than all of the other conferences.

The acc had one of the worst performances of all time. Considering the number of teams and where they were seeded. The worst performance ever

This just opens wounds of Arkansas not getting it done yesterday. With how Zags played against Northwestern we could have conceivably gotten all teams in the sweet 16. But 3 of 5 is still insane.

They led by 21 at the half and slacked off.

OK, but that's not really answering the question. If the SEC had 6 or 7 teams instead of 5, do you think we would have had any more in the Sweet 16? I don't think we would have. Were there any SEC teams that didn't get in that you think should have? Again, I don't really see it. About all your numbers show is that several leagues had three teams good enough for the Sweet 16, and the SEC was one of them.

It was a way to shite on the ACC to silence the North Carolina, Louisville, and Clemson trolls.

Totally agree this was one of the worst (if not worst) Tourneys the ACC has ever had. No team stepped up their game from the regular season. Several examples (the best being USC) of teams rising to the occasion in other conferences this year.

Would have been nice if Arkansas held on to win.
