[QUOTE="RamblinRed, post: 871649, member: 1776"] I wouldn't say the B10 folded, they slightly underperformed as a conference, largely because their most highly regarded teams were unable to make deep runs. They went 9-9 overall. But remember of their 9 seeds that included 2 of the First Four and an 11 seed, plus two 7 seeds who both lost 2nd round games to 2 seeds. Their highest seed in the Tournament was a 3 seed, so by seeding the expectation would be that no B10 teams would make the Elite Eight and none did. They had two 3 seeds, one 4 and one 5. So you would have expected 3 B10 teams to make the Sweet Sixteen, they had 2 - note their 4 seed lost to a 5 seed which is a minor upset. Based on the avg number of wins per seed you would have expected the B10 to win 9.89 games overall, they won 9, so an underperformance but not a huge one based on their seeding. The B10 this year was more a case of having alot of teams that were good enough to make the Tournament and win a game or two, but not many that were seen as good enough to make deep runs. Seven of their teams did win at least 1 game, This is more about the ACC greatly overperforming than other conferences greatly underperforming. ACC expected wins would be 4.98, it is currently at 11-2 with 3 teams still playing. That is fantastic and unexpected. Now, in hindsight, Miami is a team you could have made a guess might make some noise in the Tourney. They went 7-3 over their last 10 and their 3 losses were a 3-pt loss at UVA, a 1-pt loss to VT where Miami led by 8 with less than 2 min to play and lost on a made three by VT with less than 12 seconds remaining. The 3rd loss was the 4-pt loss to Duke in the ACC Tourney. [/QUOTE]
