Thanks for that broader data view.

How did Illinois get in the NIT? I thought they were dragging bottom in the B1G. Did they get hot at the end?

Final Fours by conference / school - historic (not just in past year or so)

ACC : 18 North Carolina, 15 Duke, 3 NC State, 2 Georgia Tech, 2 Maryland, 2 Virginia, 1 Florida State, 1 Wake Forest
B1G : 10 Ohio State, 8 Indiana, 8 Michigan State, 5 Michigan, 5 Illinois, 3 Iowa, 2 Purdue, 2 Wisconsin, 1 Penn State
PAC : 17 UCLA, 4 Arizona, 3 Cal, 2 Oregon St, 2 Stanford, 2 Southern Cal, 1 Washington, 1 Washington St, 1 Oregon
SEC : 15 Kentucky, 6 Arkansas, 4 Florida, 4 LSU, 1 Mississippi State, 1 Georgia
B 8 : 14 Kansas, 6 OK St, 4 Oklahoma, 4 Kansas State, 2 Colorado, 1 Iowa State
SWC : 3 Texas, 2 Baylor, 1 SMU
Big East : 5 Georgetown, 5 Syracuse, 4 Uconn, 3 Villanova, 2 St John's, 2 Providence, 2 West Virginia, 1 Pittsburgh, 1 Seaton Hall
Metro : 10 Louisville, 6 Cincinnati, 5 Houston, 1 Memphis, 1 VCU, 1 UNC - Charlotte
MWC : 4 UNLV, 4 Utah, 1 Wyoming
WCC : 3 San Francisco, 1 Santa Clara, 1 Seattle

I would make the argument the "big six" - conferences that should get 4+ teams in a 68 team tournament is:

ACC
B1G
B12
PAC
SEC
B E (once they finish raiding the A 10)

SEC should get at least 4 every year, even if the 4th gets knocked out early.
