[QUOTE="CEB, post: 941213, member: 4905"] Like Purdue, or Arizona, or Marquette? Throw in Kansas... regular season winner. It’s a tournament... favorites lose. Yes, the games are not called as tightly but I also think several of the top seeds had holes and they all ran up against pretty experienced groups. I think the extra covid year and transfers hanging around had a pretty profound effect this year. Might next year too. For what it’s worth, I am not sure that tournament performance is a great indicator either. Teams change too much year to year. I think the UVA loss to UMBC was unnecessarily damaging... but they didn’t get nearly the bump for winning it all. ACC perception was trending down anyway perhaps? Will be interesting to see how this affects the Big Ten next year (if at all). Think they get fewer bids? Purdue won the regular season and the conference tournament in pretty dominant fashion and owns arguably the worst tourney loss in history for it... That should be a big mark on the conference, right? I don’t expect it will be. I’m not sure why the ACC is getting a raw deal, but I am starting to lean toward the messaging / marketing campaigns also. The money and the 24/7 advertising the SEC and BIG are getting is becoming pretty hard to overcome. [/QUOTE]
