Alright Clyde, once again your sports knowledge has proven to be FALSE (who Knew?). Here are the tourney comparisons among the three conferences which works out great since all three conferences had seven members in the tourney:
The ACC
Wake Forest 0-1
Boston College 0-1
Florida St. 0-1
Clemson 0-1
Maryland 1-1
North Carolina 5-0
Total 8-6
Four teams lost in the first round, 1 team out in the second round, only two sweet 16 teams and then UNC to the Elite Eight and Final Four. Better than the Big East? NOT EVEN CLOSE. Btw, their other sweet 16 team was Duke who got beat by….Villanova of the Big East.
The Big Ten(11)
Ohio St. 0-1
Minnesota 0-1
Illinois 0-1
Michigan 1-1
Wisconsin 1-1
Purdue 2-1
Michigan St. 5-0
Total 9-6
Three teams out in the first round, two more bounced in the second round, two sweet 16 teams and the Michigan St. to the Elite Eight and Final Four. Better than the Big East? NOT EVEN CLOSE! Btw your only other Sweet 16 team was Purdue…..who was beat by UConn of the Big East.
The Big East
West Virginia 0-1
Marquette 1-1
Syracuse 2-1
Louisville 3-1
Pitt 3-1
Nova 4-1
UConn 4-1
Total 17-7
Only one team eliminated in the first round, only one other team out in the second round. Five Sweet 16 teams, a record four teams in the Elite Eight and two teams in the Final Four. That is right, half the field in the Elite Eight and Half the field in the Final Four were from the Big East Conference.
It was a good effort though Clyde, no wonder your bracket is such a mess lol!
