That\u2019s better than any conference and far better than all other conferences except one. For example, the 6-bid <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mwcconnection.com\/\">Mountain West<\/a> had 4 teams bounced by the end of the opening round, and only got a single team out of the opening weekend. The 8-bid SEC had 5 teams lose via upsets in the opening round to lower seeds. 4 of them were bad upsets by double-digit seeds including the loss by 3-seed Kentucky. They got only got 2 of their 8 teams (25%) out of the opening round, and have a losing record, while the Big East got 100% of its teams into the Sweet 16 and have a perfect, undefeated record. <\/p>\n<p id=\"ui8Ndm\">Scroll below to see the records of each multi-bid conference in this year\u2019s tourney, last year\u2019s and both years combined. By all 3 measures, the Big East is ahead of all other conferences, and it\u2019s far ahead of most of them. If this year\u2019s Big East teams continue to perform well, and the Big 12 continues to underperform, the Big East may well repeat last year\u2019s feat of being the best conference in the country for the year.<\/p>\n<div id=\"Bce84Q\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-dnt=\"true\" align=\"center\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The BIG EAST is the Top Basketball Conference and the Key to Georgetown\u2019s Path Back to Glory <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/MVr4v2g7zH\">https:\/\/t.co\/MVr4v2g7zH<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/7Hj3YOrgp7\">pic.twitter.com\/7Hj3YOrgp7<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Casual Hoya (@CasualHoya) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CasualHoya\/status\/1647284814049837058?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 15, 2023<\/a>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"XARomx\">\n<p id=\"BY5Ebf\"><strong>How this affects Georgetown and other Big East teams<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"JJisSD\">\n<p id=\"JMs4rp\">This supports the claims of many Big East fans, coaches and players who say the conference deserved 4 or 5 bids. There are multiple reasons for fans of Big East teams to want the league to get many bids and also to do well in the tournament:<\/p>\n<p id=\"rgeDac\">1) It\u2019s used as one of the key measures for how good a conference is compared to others. Many recruits want to play in one of the top conferences.<\/p>\n<p id=\"V3XV5t\">\n<p id=\"GJOvN4\">2) All Big East schools get solid annual revenues based on how many wins the league gets in the tourney, and they don\u2019t lose any money if a team loses in the tourney. If St. John\u2019s or Seton Hall got in and won 2 or 3 games, all Big East teams would get a cut of that. The Big East being 6-0 already is providing free money to Georgetown and the rest of the Big East for years to come. <\/p>\n<p id=\"ZjRxS3\">3) It helps the schools that get bids in their recruiting, which is important in maintaining the quality and competitiveness of the league. Most coaches and schools are judged by recruits based on how consistently they get their teams into the dance. For example, a coach and team that reached the dance 3 of the past 6 years (50%) are viewed more favorably than ones that reached it 2 of the past 6 (33%).<\/p>\n<p id=\"bsrKH4\">\n<p id=\"O87P7g\">4) To some degree it also helps the teams that didn\u2019t get bids in their recruiting, by telling recruits that they\u2019ll get to play games against many tourney teams.<\/p>\n<p id=\"aceN9z\">\n<p id=\"Cgtv0o\">5) It helps all teams recruit players by pointing out that the league regularly gets a high number of bids, and that if the Big East school you go to has a good season, they should get a bid. Seton Hall going 13-7 in league and not getting a bid is not a good message for recruits of any Big East team.<\/p>\n<p id=\"f1IkUk\"><strong>Reasons why the Big East deserved 5 bids<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"Jjq8wj\"><strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"nI0Vln\">This is not an exhaustive list, and primarily focuses on some things I haven\u2019t seen so far on most websites. Last year <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theuconnblog.com\/\">UConn<\/a> was tied for 4th in the Big East at 13-7, which means they were also tied for 5th. There were 3 other teams ahead of them in conference and another team on par with them. Nevertheless, they won the national championship and destroyed every team they played. <\/p>\n<p id=\"t6WL8f\">That was strong proof that the Big East is a brutal conference to play in, and that the 4th place team should almost always get a bid unless they have a losing record. The 4th place team should definitely get a bid if they go 13-7 like Seton Hall did this year. Of course I\u2019m not saying the Hall this year was as good as UConn was last year. But they achieved a huge accomplishment in the latter 2\/3rds of the season that was on par with what national champion UConn did last year in the latter 2\/3rds. <\/p>\n<p id=\"UWzVZv\">UConn\u2019s average margin of victory in its last 8 tourney wins is 22 points. 6 of those games were after the opening round. After crushing Northwestern, UConn coach Dan Hurley said: \u201cSeton Hall beat us by 15. We\u2019ve won 8 straight in this tournament, all by significant margins, and they were good enough to beat us. There should have been 5 or 6 Big East teams in this tournament.\u201d In accomplishing that, Seton Hall outperformed UConn\u2019s average NCAA opponent by 37 points. <\/p>\n<div id=\"JnvqxL\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Dan Hurley speaking about the Big East being left out of the NCAA Tournament<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Seton Hall beat us by 15.

Those wins were between great and good because St. John\u2019s deserved a bid, and Villanova and Providence were just one win (and only several points) shy of a bid. All of them are signature wins except Butler, which are still pretty good wins. Butler beat 6-seed Texas Tech, 10-seed Boise St., California, Penn State and East Tennessee in OCC play and lost by only five points to 8-seed FAU in Orlando, which was kind of a home game for FAU. East Tennessee was one point shy of making the tourney, as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/mens-college-basketball\/game\/_\/gameId\/401625588\/etsu-samford\">they lost in OT to Samford<\/a>, which should have upset 4-seed Kansas in the first round if not for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/mens-college-basketball\/story\/_\/id\/39783317\/samford-bucky-mcmillan-not-faulting-refs-loss-kansas\">a terrible call at the end<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div id=\"jFmPty\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-dnt=\"true\" align=\"center\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">A clean Samford block vs. Kansas was called a foul late in the loss and fans were rightfully livid <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/JQuptEuUyx\">https:\/\/t.co\/JQuptEuUyx<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/9wkLrNQIaq\">pic.twitter.com\/9wkLrNQIaq<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 For The Win (@ForTheWin) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ForTheWin\/status\/1771416864607850892?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 23, 2024<\/a>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"lyV5Ru\">Butler also beat Marquette, Creighton, Providence and Villanova. Butler\u2019s OOC performance was on par with most of the last 10 at-large teams to get bids. Roughly mid-way through the season they were widely forecast to be a 10-seed. If they didn\u2019t play in a lethal conference and instead played in the Mountain West, SEC, ACC, AAC or Atlantic 10, they probably would have racked up enough wins to get a bid. Thus, Seton Hall\u2019s two wins over Butler were also good quality wins. That the 8th-best team (and 4th-worst team) was as strong was Butler is more evidence of how <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/2022%E2%80%9323_Big_East_Conference_men%27s_basketball_season\">tough the Big East is<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p id=\"z1RwLL\">Further evidence is the Big East had 3 teams in the top 10 of the country. That is more than any other league. The Mountain West\u2019s best team was only #20. The Big East had more teams in the top 10 than the Mountain West had in the top 25. <\/p>\n<p id=\"RN4siL\">\n<p id=\"efduMN\">Another major point is the Big East had 9 teams in the top 70 of the NET rankings. That\u2019s 82% of its teams. In comparison, the Big 10 and the SEC had only 8 of their 14 teams (just 57%), the Mountain West had only 6 of its 11 teams (just 54%), the ACC had only 8 of 15 (53%) and the Pac-12 only 50%. Only the Big 12 was better than the Big East, and only by a little at 86%. <\/p>\n<p id=\"NLXAAd\">\n<p id=\"AmPC4g\">Also consider that Georgetown basically beat 9-seed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.frogsowar.com\/\">TCU<\/a> and NET #124 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.onefootdown.com\/\">Notre Dame<\/a>, and lost to #84 Syracuse (5th place in the ACC) and #103 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.onthebanks.com\/\">Rutgers<\/a>. We essentially were 2-2 against P-6 conference teams in the OOC. Inside of the ACC, Notre Dame beat Clemson, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloggersodear.com\/\">Wake Forest<\/a>, Virginia and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gobblercountry.com\/\">Virginia Tech<\/a>, and only barely lost to Syracuse, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.backingthepack.com\/\">NC State<\/a> and two close game to BC. However, Notre Dame did worse than us in OOC going 5 &#8211; 6, including 3 bad losses to Western Carolina and Citadel by double-digits and also to us. Counting the TCU game fairly, we were 8-3 in the OOC, and had only 1 bad loss to Holy Cross (and only by 1 point). <\/p>\n<p id=\"QWZ3dU\">Notre Dame had 0 good wins and 0 solid wins, while we had 1 good win over TCU and 1 solid win over Notre Dame. In fairness, ND played a tougher OOC. But to account for that, we\u2019ll subtract 2 of their losses \u2026 plus we\u2019ll also subtract 2 of our wins. Even with that, we\u2019re still ahead of them at 6-3 versus 5-4. That indicates we likely would have done as well as ND did in the ACC and finished 7-13 there and with a NET close to ND\u2019s 124. It also means a major reason Georgetown went 2-18 in conference was due to how brutal the Big East was. We were .500 against P6 teams out of conference, but only .100 against the Big East. Our winning percentage against non-Big East P6 teams was 500% higher.<\/p>\n<p id=\"TXXp5l\">\n<p id=\"G3Wzln\"><strong>Records of each conference this year and last <\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"PWVh4T\">For all conference that got more than 1 bid this year, here are their tournament records this year, last year and the two years combined. Spoiler: the Big East is well ahead of all other conferences in all three records.<\/p>\n<p id=\"HMHghQ\">\n<p id=\"0ZPe66\"><strong>Big East<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"B7hHTi\">\n<p id=\"lneiCV\">Combined 2023-24 record: 18-4 (82%)<\/p>\n<p id=\"v5jTQP\">\n<p id=\"aZNShJ\">2024 Record: 6-0 (100%)<\/p>\n<p id=\"gVK1uS\">\n<p id=\"iyayUg\">2023 Record: 12-4 (75%)<\/p>\n<p id=\"UQWIwN\">Last year, Creighton deserved to win its Elite 8 game, but the officials made a bad call as time expired against a Creighton player basically just for touching an opponent\u2019s floppy jersey and maybe very light contact with a few inches of the side of the waist. Almost 100% of drives in basketball have much more contact between the defender and driver \u2013 a much larger area of contact and much harder contact. So the Big East\u2019s record last year was really 13-4, and may well have been 14-4 if Creighton won in the Final 4. Having 1 or 2 more wins last year would make the Big East\u2019s combined record even more impressive. But even not counting it, the Big East\u2019s record is much better than any other conference.<\/p>\n<div id=\"21eumP\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Making a statement   <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/rx2Hz7u2Lb\">pic.twitter.com\/rx2Hz7u2Lb<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 BIG EAST MBB (@BIGEASTMBB) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BIGEASTMBB\/status\/1771513833955135801?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 23, 2024<\/a>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"l7BGyH\">\n<p id=\"N2xnoG\">As the Big East\u2019s Twitter account noted here, this year it became the first league ever to win 100% of its round 1 games, and to do so by 15 points. While it\u2019s impossible to know what will happen in the next two weeks, the Big East is positioned to do well. Marquette plays an 11-seed they should beat. Tyler Kolek returned from his injury rest in top form. In round 2, he dished a whopping 11 assists, scored 21 points on 10 of 14 shooting (71%) and grabbed 5 rebounds while playing all 40 minutes. As this post pointed out, that feat put him tied with Jason Kidd and Draymond Green for the most games in NCAA history with 10+ points, 10+ assists and 5+ rebounds. <\/p>\n<div id=\"9DdoIq\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Elite numbers\u203c\ufe0f<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/KolekTyler?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@KolekTyler<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MarquetteMBB?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@MarquetteMBB<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/e2XWbgkH9x\">pic.twitter.com\/e2XWbgkH9x<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 BIG EAST MBB (@BIGEASTMBB) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BIGEASTMBB\/status\/1772381929020571787?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 25, 2024<\/a>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"gigfAO\">Creighton has a tough game against Tennessee, but if the Bluejays are shooting well, they can beat anyone in the country. In round 2, they were cold for most of regulation, then suddenly turned on the jets by scoring the first 15 points of the 2nd OT. In many of their games, the score is close for some of or a lot of the game, then they go on a vicious tear and put the game out of reach. Their attack is relentless and they have numerous weapons. They\u2019re also highly experienced. <\/p>\n<p id=\"2lWjVZ\">\n<p id=\"ljB3W7\">UConn plays a 5-seed next and is playing at a super high level in multiple ways. Most analysts agree that UConn and Purdue have been the two most impressive teams so far. Despite being ice cold from 3 in the 2nd round and hitting only 13.6%, UConn still decimated Northwestern. They opened with a 7-0 run and it was never closer than that. Every few minutes they expanded their lead, and were up 14 by the 12-minute mark. It was never closer than double-digits after that. <\/p>\n<p id=\"InaCNg\">\n<p id=\"g603kU\">With a few minutes left in the half, they were up by 22. By 7 minutes into the next half, the lead ballooned to 30, and UConn had scored 111% more than Northwestern: 57-27. Danny Hurley pulled a few of his best players for some minutes to avoid getting injured in a blow-out. Also UConn got complacent and laid off the gas, allowing Northwestern to reduce the lead, but it never got closer than 16. If UConn had shot only 27% from 3, they would have had another 9 points. As the astute John Fanta posted, UConn has won its last 8 NCAA tourney games by an average of 22 points.<\/p>\n<div id=\"EXQ0o4\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">UConn has now won its last 8 NCAA Tournament games by an average of 22 points.

The biggest doozie is Tennessee coach Rick Barnes saying: \u201cI think we\u2019ve got the best basketball league in the country, and I don\u2019t think it\u2019s close.\u201d The operative word is \u201cthink,\u201d and that thought was flat-out wrong. If you have an account at SB Nation\/CasualHoya, you can login to the article and write a comment poking fun at the SEC.<\/p>\n<p id=\"MwMDEK\">\n<p id=\"vrQZz1\">Their 2 teams left are 4-seed Alabama and 2-seed Tennessee. Even if they miraculously both go to the title game (with Alabama possibly having to get past North Carolina, Arizona and UConn) and the 3 Big East teams all lose their next games, the SEC winning percentage for this year of 63% would still be lower than the Big East\u2019s 67%. And their combined record of 21-15 (58%) would be far behind the Big East\u2019s 72%. By almost any measure, the Big East is much better than the SEC. Sorry, Rick.<\/p>\n<p id=\"RaXKGC\">\n<p id=\"dGimVM\"><strong>ACC<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"l8F9AZ\">\n<p id=\"31esSV\">Combined 2023-24 record: 15-6 (71%)<\/p>\n<p id=\"mER50e\">\n<p id=\"1r1oAI\">2024 Record: 8-1<\/p>\n<p id=\"hzv1Ih\">\n<p id=\"1XNpBv\">2023 Record: 7-5<\/p>\n<p id=\"F5p8H7\">\n<p id=\"fYhq2K\">The ACC in this tournament is off to a strong 9-1 start partly due to NC State facing a 14-seed in the 2nd round and a weak Virginia team in the First 4. But they\u2019re likely to lose 3 of their next 4 games with 2-seed Marquette playing 11-seed NC state, 1-seed Houston playing 4-seed Duke and 2-seed Arizona playing 6 seed Clemson. Duke probably has the best chance of an upset, but Houston is the #2 team in the country. 4-seed Alabama has as good of a chance of beating 5th ranked North Carolina, which barely got a 1-seed. Even if the ACC pulls off a few upsets, it has no chance of overtaking the Big East in the combined records. <\/p>\n<p id=\"PjM8HC\">They\u2019re also quite behind the Big East in almost all other metrics. As I\u2019ll describe in the Pac-12 section, the ACC is about to add three teams that didn\u2019t come close to making the tourney. Considering that Virginia didn\u2019t deserve a bid and NC State only got in because it won their tournament, the ACC came close to only having 3 of this year\u2019s 15 teams get bids. That would have been only 20%. Including next year\u2019s teams, it would have been 3 of 18, or only 17%. Granted, NC State has proven itself to be worthy of a bid. But even if we include them, 4 of 18 is only 22% that deserved a bid. The ACC has been down for several years, and that may continue for many more.<\/p>\n<p id=\"g1eVCZ\"><strong>Big 12<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"sE011n\">Combined 2023-24 record: 16-13 (55%)<\/p>\n<p id=\"LPUgKh\">\n<p id=\"tTFtK1\">2024 Record: 7-6 (54%)<\/p>\n<p id=\"7Ndsds\">\n<p id=\"Zg4mtx\">2023 Record: 9-7 (56%)<\/p>\n<p id=\"f0XKxf\">Coming into the tourney, I thought the Big 12 this year based on the regular season was the best conference, followed by the Big East. In the tourney, they got off to only an ok start, and then went downhill. At this point, they\u2019ve dramatically underperformed expectations. Their real record this year should be 6-6 given that they would have lost to Samford if not for a horrible end-of-game call. The majority of their 6 teams that have exited did so via upsets. Their combined record of 55% puts them in 5th-place among multi-bid conferences, behind even the lowly Pac-12.<\/p>\n<p id=\"f3zFTU\">That said, they still have their best 2 teams in the dance, Houston and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.widerightnattylite.com\/\">Iowa State<\/a>, so they have potential for some amount of redemption. But even if both of their teams advance to the title game and all 3 Big East teams lose in the Sweet 16, the Big East\u2019s combined record would still be well ahead of the Big 12. On the flip side, if the Big East\u2019s teams continue to roll and the Big 12\u2019s don\u2019t, the Big East could overtake the Big 12 as the best conference this year.  <\/p>\n<p id=\"HkqPGc\"><strong>Big Ten<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"R5fLFP\">Combined 2023-24 record: 12-12 (50%)<\/p>\n<p id=\"KeWU61\">\n<p id=\"8hvsna\">2024 Record: 6-4 (60%)<\/p>\n<p id=\"eLTkET\">\n<p id=\"zw00eX\">2023 Record: 6-8 (43%)<\/p>\n<p id=\"4m7lMO\">The Big Ten has a kind of weak track record in the tourney this century, and their combined record for these two years so far is no exception. Their combined record of 50% puts them only head of the American and the Atlantic 10 among multi-bid leagues. Consider that Northwestern was tied for 3rd in the Big Ten, and UConn had one of its worst outside shooting nights of its past two years, and still blew them out. <\/p>\n<p id=\"Z3lWo1\">The Big Ten hasn\u2019t won a national championship since 2000, and before that, its last one was in 1989. Winning a title only about once every 17 years is pretty bad. Since 1990, both UConn and Villanova have individually won more national championships than their <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/List_of_Big_Ten_Conference_national_championships\">whole league combined<\/a>. This year might be their best shot in a long-time with 1-seed Purdue playing very well. But Purdue famously has a history of choking in the tourney. After this season, their two-time Player of the Year, Zach Edey, is gone \u2026 and the Big Ten\u2019s odds of winning a title drop significantly. Even if Purdue pulls it off this year, the Big Ten is still only the 3rd or 4th best conference behind the Big East and Big 12. <\/p>\n<p id=\"Suss6F\">\n<p id=\"mn6wx9\"><strong>Mountain West<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"Ill71f\">\n<p id=\"grRcbl\">Combined 2023-24 record: 9-9 (50%)<\/p>\n<p id=\"3bhn4Y\">\n<p id=\"Bukz7x\">2024 Record: 4-5 (44%)<\/p>\n<p id=\"WI8ar6\">\n<p id=\"cJi1Ja\">2023 Record: 5-4 (55%)<\/p>\n<p id=\"Qs4sDm\">At 82%, the Big East\u2019s winning percentage is comparatively 64% better than the Mountain West\u2019s. That the Mountain West got 100% more bids than the Big East is absurd. As a Butler fan posted, since realignment in 2013-14, the Mountain West is now only 12-25 overall in the NCAA tournament and 7-24 without SDSU\u2019s run in 2023. Without SDSU, they are 4-19 since 2014, and an abysmal 1-13 since 2019. Those stats include play-in games. They should get 2 at-large bids, and 3 at the most. The committee embarrassed themselves by handing them 6. <\/p>\n<div id=\"24nW9I\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Update.

But they were still called P6 due to their football. At last they\u2019ve been put out of their misery. The Big 12 is getting their best team, Arizona, and a solid team in Colorado. But they\u2019re also getting a weak team in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.houseofsparky.com\/\">Arizona State<\/a> and a team that had a losing record in a weak conference (Utah). Considering the Big 12\u2019s current strength with 57% of their teams getting bids and Oklahoma probably deserving a bid (which would have been 64%), these 4 teams on average are somewhat weaker than the conference as a whole.<\/p>\n<p id=\"myfcRH\">The ACC is getting major Pac-12 deadweight in Stanford and California that will drag their conference down even lower. Stanford and California were far from making the tourney. They probably are going to have an even tougher time recruiting in the future as mediocre West-coast teams playing many mediocre East-coast teams. The ACC is also adding an SMU team that didn\u2019t make the tourney, and doesn\u2019t have a strong basketball tradition. <\/p>\n<p id=\"dvpcD5\">The Big Ten is getting 3 Pac-12 teams that didn\u2019t make the tourney, and 1 team (Oregon) that was only an 11-seed. Of the 3 non-bid teams, 2 of them (UCLA and USC) had overall losing records, and Washington was only 17-15 overall and 9-11 in a weak conference. On the whole, the 4 teams are a significant step down for the Big Ten. Their already bloated conference has become even more bloated. <\/p>\n<p id=\"bvdpjL\"><strong>West Coast<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"DM9yZ6\">Combined 2023-24 record: 6-3 (67%)<\/p>\n<p id=\"nvZQzK\">\n<p id=\"aMJTsP\">2024 Record: 2-1 (67%)<\/p>\n<p id=\"Wvh2zQ\">\n<p id=\"kvakOo\">2023 Record: 4-2 (67%)<\/p>\n<p id=\"fjR7K4\">On one hand, the WCC has performed better in the tourney in the combined years than any conference except the Big East and ACC. On the other hand, they haven\u2019t deserved more than 2 bids, and are overall a somewhat weak conference after Gonzaga and St. Mary\u2019s. I like the WCC and my hope is that they improve and become better and better. That could well happen due to the dissolution of the Pac-12. I think most of the former Pac-12 West-coast teams are going to have a much harder time recruiting in their new conferences. <\/p>\n<p id=\"pxZmZv\">I think the non-coastal former Pac-12 teams joining the Big 12 won\u2019t have that problem because they form a natural geographic footprint with the majority of the Big 12. But with the Pac-12 gone and the Mountain West showing its true weakness, I think the West Coast is fairly open to the WCC growing into a much stronger conference.  <\/p>\n<p id=\"KLeNgP\"><strong>Atlantic 10<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"s5VPYm\">Combined 2023-24 record: 2-3 (40%)<\/p>\n<p id=\"G9JUUQ\">\n<p id=\"w6mpDz\">2024 Record: 2-2 (50%)<\/p>\n<p id=\"oLDKzw\">\n<p id=\"zjDJ5W\">2023 Record: 0-1 (0%)<\/p>\n<p id=\"z6EdXC\">The A-10 only got two bids this year because 6th-place Duquesne managed to win their tournament. Dayton narrowly avoided an upset to 10-seed Nevada, and Duquesne notched an upset of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vanquishthefoe.com\/\">BYU<\/a>. But neither made it out of the opening weekend. Most years the A-10 will get 1 or 2 bids, and are not remotely close to being a P6 league. I think the transfer portal and NIL trends will hurt the A-10 as too many of its good players each year jump to stronger conferences for things like: a) Greater media exposure. b) NIL money and c) a higher likelihood of making the tourney.<\/p>\n<p id=\"Mbg2Xy\"><strong>American (AAC)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"mVnsdw\">Combined 2023-24 record: 2-4 (33%)<\/p>\n<p id=\"aipZAf\">\n<p id=\"qUOQxc\">2024 Record: 0-2 (0%)<\/p>\n<p id=\"xZFetd\">\n<p id=\"2Yj7eV\">2023 Record: 2-2 (50%)<\/p>\n<p id=\"3rz2WY\">The American\u2019s loss of teams like UConn and Houston devastated it, and I see almost no hope for them recovering. Their only team with a very solid basketball tradition is Memphis, and it looks like they\u2019re now suffering from the conference becoming so weak. I doubt that FAU will continue at its recent level for more than a few years more. Next year they\u2019re also losing SMU. That normally wouldn\u2019t be much of a loss, but when a conference is as down as the AAC has become, even SMU leaving is a serious loss.  <\/p>\n<p id=\"EMt5lv\"><strong>The Totals<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"1hHmbO\">Here are the totals side-by side showing how far the Big East is ahead of the other conferences, particularly the 8-bid SEC, the 8-bid Big 12, the 6-bid Big Ten and the 6-bid Mountain West:<\/p>\n<p id=\"A1TmK2\">\n<p id=\"u9cYDc\">Big East: 82%<\/p>\n<p id=\"3y5ZTO\">ACC: 71%<\/p>\n<p id=\"hiXU86\">WCC: 67%<\/p>\n<p id=\"THWDio\">Pac-12: 56%<\/p>\n<p id=\"7XZDnB\">Big 12: 55%<\/p>\n<p id=\"hJAhqc\">Big Ten: 50%<\/p>\n<p id=\"4ZWEOo\">Mountain West: 50%<\/p>\n<p id=\"bP53Wv\">Atlantic 10: 40%<\/p>\n<p id=\"AaFcmr\">AAC: 33%<\/p>\n<p id=\"dg3Dnv\">The core problem is that the committee is comprised entirely of ADs and league commissioners who handle about 20 sports, who don\u2019t know enough about basketball and have super busy jobs that preclude them from watching nearly enough men\u2019s basketball games to know which teams are good enough for at-large bids.<\/p>\n<p id=\"dICvih\">To sum up how off track the committee is, let\u2019s turn to someone who watches a ton of games each year, Dickie V, who basically wrote that the committee doesn\u2019t even know basketball: <\/p>\n<p id=\"A6206f\">\u201cJust studying the Draw &amp; I think the Selection Committee did not give the RESPECT that the @BIGEAST deserved .

That\u2019s an excellent idea. College football already does that. Men\u2019s basketball should not only do the same, but should have a higher percentage of the committee be retired coaches. <\/p>\n<div id=\"B4cXk2\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Have a great suggestion for Dan Gavitt, who is absolutely the best.

Izzo literally called it \u201ccrazy,\u201d even though his team got a bid and a solid seed for a team near the bubble. While Pitino gave the names of 3 legendary college hoops coaches, even a committee made up 100% of average college coaches would do a much better job awarding bids and picking seeds than a committee of overworked non-basketball people. Including plenty of retired coaches is a no-brainer.
