PAC 12: 2-5 with all five losses coming to lower seeded teams. That's a bad showing.
Big Ten: 4-3 (not counting Michigan's play in). About where I figured they would be. Awfully close to being 1-6.
Big 12: 3-4. I for one am not shocked by this. Happens every year. I also think the three remaining teams are the best teams in the league despite where they finished in the regular season. Underperformed...but the three left are all threats to make the Final Four unlike the Big ten where I honestly think all four teams lose their next game...Maryland has best shot to win another game.
ACC: 6-1. Overachieving but impressive. Only loss was Pitt.
SEC: 2-0 (not counting Vandy's play in loss). Did they really only get three teams in? Not many teams but both UK and A&M can make it to the Final Four.
When the weekend is over, I predict the Sweet Sixteen to consist of the following power conference teams:
PAC 12: Oregon
Big Ten: Maryland
Big 12: Iowa State, Kansas, Oklahoma
ACC: Syracuse, UNC, Duke, Virginia, Miami, Maryland (good chance ND as well but think SFA wins). Unreal that all six ACC teams really could have that many in Sweet 16 but looking very likely.
SEC: Kentucky, A&M
Other three will be: Gonzaga, Villanova and Xavier
