About the SEC getting 14 teams in…

Of the 6 SEC teams who had losing conference records, but still got an NCAA bid, only Arkansas won their first round game.

The committee needs to shorten conference coattails when handing out bids in the future.

That’s what happens to underdogs most of the time. What’s your point?

Being underdogs in Vegas is not the same thing as the committee stacking SEC

You're wildly missing the point. No one is saying the Big 12 should have got 14

Weird thing is they returned a lot of talent

The SEC was the best conference in college basketball. What are you looking for?

The 14th place SEC team beat top 2 teams from 3 power conferences.

Go drool over the SEC on an OU board. Enjoy yourself as much as you want there

HEY RAIN MAN - why is there a national tourney at all if the other teams can't

They’re the best conference in CBB? You’re the first to say that.

I doubt you can find any real posts around here claiming it’s not the best this

HRCougar

The key word there being "WAS." Current objective data suggests otherwise now.

Proximity to the top of the conference doesn’t make you beat the big ten champs,

You got a thumbs up from an Ole Miss fan. You should feel shame…

Toubibe

What does Utah have to do with Oklahoma in this argument? Relevant team is WV

NYC and Japan

Mar 21, 11:33pm

So your point is they should have only gotten 7 teams in. Hey we agree!!
