For sure. UConn, Villanova, Marquette, Creighton, Xavier, Butler,

Georgetown, St. John’s, Providence. There’s some really great history with the programs in that conference. Heck, even DePaul had good basketball back in the day (pre-Big East days).

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

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..

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

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...

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...

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 **
