Houston, Texas Tech, Arizona, and BYU. Most for the conference since 2002 I think I read. SEC has 7. Hoping for Houston or 1 of the other 3 to win it all.
4 Big 12 teams make Sweet 16
- Thread starter Willie Knightime
- Start date
Sucks not having a Cinderella make it. I know we're on the other side of the fence now, but I'm so used to pulling for the underdog.
That's cool. I've been so busy this past weekend wasn't able to watch any games. Did see some highlights. Gators win, and the last second shot for Maryland.
I did see Houston's last two minutes where they almost flubbed it.
Tuning in now that it's 16.

That’s crazy, big east and ACC not doing so hot this year
think we are starting to see the effect of NIL and the transfer portal killing the Cinderella in College Basketball 🏀. Those mid major teams that made runs most likely had a lot of juniors and seniors , now when they show promise they transfer to take an NIL deal at Kentucky or some other SEC school.
Thursday and Friday games were boring , all blowouts but one game. Saturday and Sunday the games were a little better.
On a side note, Master P's freshman son Mercy, who plays for Houston, had one of the best highlights of the tourney so far with a LeBron, full court, chase down block.
Definitely seems like it. I hope it's not an every year occurrence though. Cinderellas are why it's called March Madness.
Not only NIL and players but when a coach finds success they are bought out as well.
Speaking of which, I'm glad Pitino got bounced out by Arkansas. What a creep that guy is.

Conferences with the bigger budgets are going to start dominating. SEC is incredibly deep, they could conceivably end up with 3/4ths of the elite 8. Big12 and ACC need Duke and Houston making the final four.
Calipari vs Pitino was a treat! Pitino has New York with Red Storm fever.
Those big 12 teams are getting paid. I read the teams are getting about $2 million per game. That is another reason why I wish UCF could make the tournament more often.
