re: A 6-12 team does not deserve a tourney bid. Don't care how good the conference is...

NIL has replaced the advantage the Big 12 had of having really good coaches, for so long… SEC is now experiencing the grind that cbb was in the big 12 for about a decade. It’s a beast… the question is though, can the best teams break through in the tourney, big 12 got some through to win championships but many had short trips bc they’re rosters were spent battling out in conference play plus that physical conference style of play wasn’t permitted in the tournament by officials so many of teams considered to be really good were gone by 1st or 2nd round… SEC bball reminds me a lot of big 12 bball, I don’t expect a lot of SEC teams to make deep runs, but can 1-2 make deep runs.. I think so
