I can add Vanderbilt and Florida I see 9 teams in NCAA tournament. Can any other conference do that?

I doubt 9 SEC teams will get into the NCAA tournament... Arkansas, Florida, and South Carolina ??? We will see.

The trouble with finding a "strong" conference in wcbb is that there just isn't enough top talent. In mens BB a No. 25 team can beat a No. 1, 2 or 3 and it happens every year. That almost never happens in wcbb.

Many mid-level SEC terms have load up their non-conference schedules with powerhouses like Lipscomb and Jacksonville St. Florida was 3-11 against the RPI Top 50. Arkansas was 3-9. SC was 4-9.

Combined, their non-conference schedule was 1-3 against the RPI top 50 and 33-2 against the rest. (Yawn.)

Conference games are a zero-sum game -- if they win more, someone else is going to lose more. And it would be hard for them to get too many more wins against non-conference given those schedules.
