Most Overrated Conference
Posted: Sat Mar 19, 2016 6:05 pmToo soon to tell but Big 12 seems overrated. Again. Four teams lost to lower seeds in opening round. I'm beginning to wonder how good OU and KU really are.

How about UConn shoot for breaking 20 by half!

Now KU should focus on getting 20 in the second!!!

The first record is the league's record in tournament games. The second record is "upsets": wins as a lower seed-losses as a higher seed. Teams have to be more than one seed apart to count in the upset record.
West Coast: 2-0, 2-0
Big West: 1-0, 1-0
Conference USA: 1-0, 1-0
Southland: 1-0, 1-0
ACC: 10-1, 1-0
Missouri Valley: 3-1, 2-0
Big Ten: 6-3, 0-2
A-10: 2-1, 1-1
Big East: 4-3, 0-1
Big 12: 5-4, 0-3
SEC: 2-2, 0-0
Atlantic Sun: 1-1, 0-0
Ivy League: 1-1, 1-0
Patriot: 1-1, 0-0
Sun Belt: 1-1, 1-0
Pac-12: 2-6, 0-4
American: 1-4, 0-0
15 other conferences: 0-1, 0-0
Looks like Pac-12 is most overrated with 4 upset losses (Big 12 honorable mention with 3), and West Coast and Missouri Valley most underrated as each have 2 upset wins.

Posted: Sun Mar 20, 2016 9:24 amWe had a legitimate shot at starting 4-0 instead of 1-3, but close doesn't count.

You really think that they are better than two out of the group of the ACC, Big East, and Big 10? Their tournament record does not support the idea that they are a top two conference over the past two or three years.
MVC: Most over-achieving.

Posted: Sun Mar 20, 2016 12:57 pmAnd the Big 10 has really performed well....lol
ACC is the best. Then the Big 12 is a distant 2nd. Oklahoma, the third best team in the league beat Nova by 20 at a neutral site.

Re: Most Overrated Conference
Posted: Sun Mar 20, 2016 12:59 pmBut the gap between the ACC and Big 12 is huge.
Re: Most Overrated Conference
Posted: Sun Mar 20, 2016 2:41 pmACC clearly the best this year.
Big 10 most over-rated.
Big 12 a close second for over rated. I think Oklahoma goes down soon…hopefully to A&M.
I still think it is very possible that both Villanova and Xavier make the Final Four. If that happens kudos to the Big East. I think that is the toughest conference to win on the road in.
