MADNESS: One BIG Conference Stands Out in NCAA Tournament

The Big East is threatening to run away with the NCAA tournament again for the 2nd year in a row, as it’s already off to a 6-0 start. That’s better than any conference and far better than all other conferences except one. For example, the 6-bid Mountain West 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.
