Who has the best conference in March Madness? Here are their records so far
The Big Ten received rave reviews as the best conference in college basketball this season. They even received the most bids into the NCAA Tournament, getting nine teams dancing.
But March was madness to the Big Ten with only one team surviving the first two rounds.
The Pac-12, on the other hand, was the star of those first four tournament days.
