I’m bitter that we didn’t make the Dance yet again, but man … I’m DANG proud for our conference that we put a five seed in there. I’m hoping that bodes well for the future of the AAC. Probably not, but hey … I’ll try to stay positive.

Two future conference mates when the Southwest Conference relaunches (with us in it).

That’s a tough draw - CSU is red hot and deserved more than a 12

Except 12 seeds always seem to be better than their seeding. 
 

They have the highest upset percentage and I they love the cinderellas. Makes for higher ratings!

Eleven seeds have a slightly higher win percentage that 12s. Not sure if people consider 10s over 7s or 9s over 8s upsets.

"The SEC's 14 teams were followed by the Big Ten with eight and Big 12 with seven. There are three potential second-round games between SEC teams -- the sort of matchups the committee is asked to avoid, but that became inevitable with the conference having so many teams in the field.

The ACC, meanwhile, ended up with four teams, barely avoiding its worst showing since 2000, back when the conference was half the size it is now."
