The Big 12 was stacked this year. If a team from that conference made it to the Big Dance, they are battle-tested. There was no easy path through the Big 12 this season. Iowa State has the talent to make some noise.

The Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference had a banner year this season. Monmouth and Iona both had excellent seasons in the conference.

Can Iona knock off Iowa State in the first round?

The ACC was top-heavy this year. Virginia and North Carolina hogged much of the spotlight and accolades. Duke did have their share of success, but the defending champs haven’t looked very ‘Duke-ish’ at points this season.

The Colonial Athletic Association is usually a single-bid conference in the NCAA Tournament. A few teams from the conference have played Cinderella in the past.

Could UNC-Wilmington wear the glass slipper?

The Pac 12 was arguably the most competitive power conference in college basketball this year. There wasn’t a single team that ran away with the conference because it was so deep. California was a team that started playing its best basketball at the right time.

The Big West Conference is usually only a single-bid conference in the NCAA Tournament. Hawaii ran through it and went on to win the conference tournament.

The Big Ten was loaded this year. Not only is Michigan State a legit title contender, but a handful of other teams in the conference could surprise us all and win the tournament. Michigan shown to be pesky when they knocked off Indiana in the conference tournament.

The American Athletic Conference probably shouldn’t have received as many at-large bids into the tournament as they did, but Tulsa is glad they get a shot. The senior-laden team could be a tough out for Michigan.

The last time a team from the Atlantic Sun Conference made a dent in the NCAA Tournament was when Florida Gulf Coast’s Dunk City team went on a run to the Sweet Sixteen in 2013. Could the up-tempo team do it again?

The Northeast Conference is usually a one-bid conference and often the conference tournament winner ends up playing in the First Four play-in games. Fairleigh Dickinson is right where many other Northeast teams have been before.

The SEC had a down year this season. Kentucky was expected to run away with the conference, but they faced some obstacles along the way. If LSU would have materialized as a good team, maybe the conference would have received more at-large bids.

The Missouri Valley Conference is one of the best mid-major conferences. They’ve historically had pretty good success in the NCAA Tournament as well. Wichita State doesn’t come into the tournament as hot as the last two years, but don’t overlook them.

The Patriot League has had some big moments in the NCAA Tournament. Teams have come from this conference and played the role of Cinderella. Bucknell and Lehigh are two teams from the conference that come to mind when the word ‘Cinderella’ is mentioned.

The SWAC conference doesn’t have the same kind of glimmer. Teams from this conference is usually seen as an easy-out, but the small conference tournament is always a battle until a winner is crowned.

The Big Ten was solid all year long. Maryland was ranked along with Michigan State, Indiana, Iowa, Purdue and others all season. The talent level in the conference rivals any of the other power conferences.

The Summit League isn’t a well-known conference, but teams in the conference have made for some interesting NCAA Tournament matchups in year’s past.

Could the Jackrabbits upset the Terrapins?

The Big East conference tournament was fun to watch this year. Seton Hall just lined them up and kept winning. The Pirates would have been a fun sleeper pick in the NCAA Tournament if they didn’t end up winning the conference tournament.

The West Coast Conference was weak this year. We are used to them getting at least one at-large bid during the peak years of the Gonzaga/St. Mary’s rivalry. St. Mary’s was on the bubble, but didn’t get in, so Gonzaga is the lone representative from the WCC this year.
