Sweet 16 breakdown ACC - 6 B1G - 3 Big 12 - 3 Pac 12 - 1 SEC - 1 Big East - 1 West Coast - 1

[Alsacs]

East
#1 North Carolina(ACC) vs. #5 Indiana(Big Ten)
#6 Notre Dame(ACC) vs. #7 Wisconsin(Big Ten)

Midwest
#1 Virginia(ACC) vs. #4 Iowa State(Big XII)
#10 Syracuse(ACC) vs. #11 Gonzaga (WCC)

South
#1 Kansas(Big XII) vs. #5 Maryland(Big Ten)
#2 Villanova(Big East) vs. #3 Miami(ACC)

West
#1 Oregon(Pac-12) vs. #4 Duke(ACC)
#2 Oklahoma(Big XII) vs. #3 Texas A&M(SEC)

Unbelievable to see this broken down. I don't think the ACC will go 6-0 but honestly there is a decent chance it could happen.
UNC/ND/UVA will be favored and Duke/SU/Miami could win as well.

The ACC and Kansas could eliminate the Big Ten.

More impressive: this or the big east in 2011? I say this.

That Iowa St. vs Virginia game is fascinating. You have the number 3 offensive team against the number 4 defense and the number 57 Tempo vs 351 in Tempo. If Iowa St. can somehow make that a track meet, I would much rather face them than UVA in the Elite 8.

Not to overlook Gonzaga, because it's going to be a tough one, I'd rather play Iowa State too. Unfortunately, I just don't see us getting that lucky. The basketball gods won't allow it.

Maybe the ACC will treat us a little better now that we've represented them in this historical 6 teams in the Sweet 16 record. Sometimes I feel like the ACC still treats us like outsiders.

Kevin Harlan/Reggie Miller/Dan Bonner on the call for the Midwest regional in Chicago.

If we won 10 nc in a row that would not change. We might as well get used to it.

What about the Big East in the 80's?

 

[SU2NASA]

Stupid Pitt.

 

[HOFCeluck]

What about the Big East in the 80's?

Because I was seven in 1989, and because no conference has ever put 11 teams in the Dance.

 

[HoustonCuse]

Stupid Pitt.

So hilarious that Pitt just can't get it done. It ensures that any discussion of this record includes the "All except Pitt" caveat. Love it.

What is the record for most teams in the Elite 8 and Final 4 from one Conference? Has their ever been a NC game with teams from the same conf?

 

[SU2NASA]

What is the record for most teams in the Elite 8 and Final 4 from one Conference? Has their ever been a NC game with teams from the same conf?

the 1985 final four had 3 Big East teams - St. Johns, Georgetown, and Villanova.

Are you saying you'd rather see us play a B12 team in the Elite 8 over an ACC team that we haven't beaten in the past 3 years??

I'm guessing nobody here is going to debate the opposing side of your argument.

 

[longtimefan]

Most recently,
1988 Kansas - Oklahoma
1985 Georgetown - Villanova

Also, Indiana vs. Michigan in '76, the first year such a matchup was possible.
