Teams get overrated throughout the season and then come tournament time lose to higher seeds and mid majors.

Could you give us a similar rundown on all the major conferences, please, starting with the ones that did better than the Big 12?
Thanks in advance.

BTW, the Big East was touting itself as the best conference in America much more vociferously than the Big 12, and it came much closer to a flame-out than did the Big 12.
1 seed Syracuse beat a 15 and an 8 before losing to a 5 seed.
2 seed WV beat a 15, an 11, and a 10 seed before beating UK yesterday (both were 2 seeds).
2 seed Villanova beat a 15 seed before losing to a 10 seed.
3 seed Georgetown lost to an 11 seed.
3 seed Pitt beat a 14 seed before losing to a 6 seed.
6 seed Notre Dame lost to an 11 seed.
6 seed Marquette lost to an 11 seed.
9 seed Louisville lost to an 8 seed.
Four first-round losses, not one win over a higher seed, and six losses to teams that were 3 (twice), 5 (twice), and 8 (twice) seeds lower. Only Louisville lost to a higher seeded team.
So skip your down-and-dirty next time and do your homework.

Mods you can close this one now....... Skyvue has unleashed some March Madness ownage on my buddy Boca.....
Sure, just doing a quick and dirty, every conference that played a Big XII team other than the Clemson from the ACC, outperformed their seed and upset a lower seed.
See how easy that was?
