The very down ACC is 15-6 in the last 2 NCAA Tournaments...
GCHokie34 • 03/25/24 02:10 AM ET
ACC was #5 in NCAAT payouts through last year**

Midwestguy • 03/25/24 12:56 PM ET
Wasn’t the pre-conference OOC record pretty bad?
Squatro • 03/25/24 11:42 AM ET
I don't know that the ACC was 'bad' at all. The right number of teams

Sure. That’s fair.

HburgHokie5 • 03/25/24 01:32 PM ET
Pretty bad compared to what?**
GCHokie34 • 03/25/24 12:00 PM ET
Every year the ACC is "down." Every year the ACC somehow shows up in March.**
vtfanuvalaw • 03/25/24 10:32 AM ET
So what’s the problem?**
Pride_and_Joy • 03/25/24 12:36 PM ET
And every year that we get shorted on teams in the tournament...
EDGEMAN • 03/25/24 10:47 AM ET
I don't think the ACC got shorted. Maybe sub Pitt for UVa, but the right
reestuart • 03/25/24 10:53 AM ET
I agree with this, Pitt is the only debatable ACC team that was out there..
Cvillehoops13 • 03/25/24 12:28 PM ET
No question UVA was probably not a viable tournament team, and...
EDGEMAN • 03/25/24 10:58 AM ET
I'd rather all conferences get capped at something like 5 or 6. Bring in

How crazy would it be to rank teams 1-256 at the end of the tournament
VT One • 03/25/24 01:39 PM ET
What is the purpose of expanding the field?

If I held any hope you were capable of understanding I would attempt...
GCHokie34 • 03/25/24 12:43 PM ET
I’m genuinely interested.
Pride_and_Joy • 03/25/24 12:47 PM ET
Like, is it a fairness issue?
Pride_and_Joy • 03/25/24 12:49 PM ET
We need more Canyon State and Stetsons for GC . Oh and sadly, Tech**
JackDSML • 03/25/24 02:04 PM ET
That is not who would be making the tournament in my scenario...
GCHokie34 • 03/26/24 12:16 PM ET
FWIW there are only 32 DI basketball conferences. If every conference

Not sure what you mean by #13 thru #16
GCHokie34 • 03/25/24 12:23 PM ET
Based on how the tournament incorporates the first four now, it is unlikely
VTHokie2000 • 03/25/24 01:27 PM ET
It wouldn't work like the First Four...

Pride_and_Joy • 03/25/24 12:33 PM ET
You should try and reply to the correct post
GCHokie34 • 03/25/24 12:42 PM ET
Why so combative? Honestly.

He's like the D2 player that shows up at the YMCA
WildTurkE • 03/25/24 12:55 PM ET
Nope...just swatting flies**
GCHokie34 • 03/25/24 12:46 PM ET
My scenario wouldn't increase the tournament by a single day...
GCHokie34 • 03/25/24 11:56 AM ET
I like that idea.
vtpmt81 • 03/25/24 12:29 PM ET
Sounds fun. Wish we could play in it.**
WildTurkE • 03/25/24 10:17 AM ET
It’s funny how conference pride becomes a thing
Pride_and_Joy • 03/25/24 11:48 AM ET
To be honest, it only seemed like the Big XII was hyped this year.
reestuart • 03/25/24 09:51 AM ET
Totally agree. The Big East is a great bball conference **
Pride_and_Joy • 03/25/24 11:49 AM ET

Zanderhokie • 03/25/24 09:09 AM ET
Brad Brownell isn't doing bad...
GCHokie34 • 03/25/24 11:25 AM ET
