Conference representation in elite 8.

[MSGRET]

Unless the team miraculously wins the conference tournament, 100% agree. However, this year, the committee gave an at-large bid to Arkansas as a #10 seed, when its record was 18–13, 7-9, where there may have been a 2nd team from another conference that deserved to dance.

South Dakota State should have been there instead of Arkansas.

Playing games are coin flips, right?

DePaul shouldn't have gotten in after getting blown out in the Big East Tournament. When a team looks as bad as they did in a season ending tournament game. That should have taken them out of consideration.

I thought that Marquette should have gotten in and DePaul should have gone to the WNIT. They demolished DePaul in the BE Quarterfinals and were the hotter team between the two.

and now the big east only has 1, again why I wait until the elite 8 to decide.

Do you mean you wait until the final four “to decide”? The big east still had 2 in the elite 8: UConn and Creighton. Creighton just didn’t make it to the final four.

let me rephrase, I will wait until the elite 8 games are over to decide what conference might be or might not be overrated.

Oh that makes sense, that’s for clarifying

well the Pac 12 and Sec definitely shut a lot of haters up last night they got their 2 in the final 4. Now it's time to see if the Big 10/ ACc/ and Big East live up

Nobody's saying that Stanford or South Carolina doesn't belong. And them being in the final four doesn't have any bearing on how many teams from the Pac or SEC belong. I don't care if Zeus plays in the SEC and wins the NCAA and goes on to defeat the Titans, it doesn't justify Arkansas being in the field.
