Who has the best conference in March Madness? Here are their records so far
For a second straight year, the Big Ten received the most bids into the NCAA Tournament with nine teams dancing. The SEC were right behind with six teams, tying the Big East and Big 12 as the conferences with the second-most tourney bids.
But March was madness to the Big Ten and SEC. Only two teams survived the first two rounds from the Big Ten, while Arkansas is the only team from the SEC advancing to the Sweet 16.
The Big 12 and ACC, on the other hand, were the star conferences of those first four tournament days.
