The BE was the #2 RPI conference this year. Their performance compared to that ranking is a disaster. The specifics of how they got their don't matter. Their seeds being high or low, and their matchups, whatever, they are all irrelevant in the big picture of performance by the #2 rated conference.

Even in regards to their seeds, they're doing terrible. Their expected win total was 9.  With 1 team left they are sitting on 5. That's again, a disaster.

Theres a million ways to argue it, but the end result is that they were over rated and their tournament performance has been terrible. The #2 conference should have more to show than 4 "quality" wins all year. Whether or not VCU counts as quality win is a matter of personal preference I guess. They've now had 10 tournament games played, and they're still sitting on 4 quality wins (best case- ole miss plus VCU equals 1 quality win).  I'm not holding my breath on that number getting any higher.

Nova was an excellent team this year. In the ACC they probably fight for 3rd place. But they were far from the juggernaut that they were made out to be. They benefit from a weak conference, and they probably will for a long time. They're a high class gonzaga (and I don't mean that to insult nova or gonzaga, just their crappy conferences).
