I would 100% take an Elite 8 appearance every year over a conference title. I would choose a sweet 16 appearance over conference runner-up.



I think this is my breakdown as well

Final Four > anything conference
Elite Eight > anything conference
Sweet 16 = Conference title
Conference title > 1st/2nd round

Duke finished as ACC regular season champ this year for the first time since 2010. Their 6 Sweet 16's, 4 Elite 8's, 1 national championship between 2011-2021 without winning their conference are undoubtedly more valuable than finishing the regular season as #1.

Basketball is and always has been about making and succeeding in the tournament.

That's fair, but I'd still take a Sweet 16 over a conference title, because conference titles are pretty meaningless in this sport. It's an interesting topic for the SEC, because it's so competitive and conference titles are so valued. But outside of the SEC, no one gives a shite. In fact, try asking anyone from outside the SEC who won the conference any of the last 3 years and they'll likely guess Kentucky.

Yeah, that's it right there. Only argument that can even be made is elite 8 = conference title, but, I agree it's more like sweet 16.
