[QUOTE="Cuyahoga Falls Eers_rivals, post: 132333897, member: 1759980"] If Big 12 and Big 10 both get 8 teams in field, which Lunardi predicts, it’s wise to remember that would be 80% of the Big 12 teams but only 67% of the Big 10 teams. Lunardi says ACC and SEC will have 7 entrants in March Madness field, Big East 5, Mountain West 4, hapless and disintegrating Pac-12 3 and WCC, whatever that is, 2. It’s also possible, not completely improbable, that Big 12 will have NINE in March Madness. Every team except Texas Tech. Since the rules forbid putting 2 teams from same conference in same quad, if Big 12 gets 8 in then they could wind up with all 8 in the Elite Eight! Wouldn’t that be something? If Big 12 and Big 10 both get 8 teams in field, which Lunardi predicts, it’s wise to remember that would be 80% of the Big 12 teams but only 67% of the Big 10 teams. Lunardi says ACC and SEC will have 7 entrants in March Madness field, Big East 5, Mountain West 4, hapless and disintegrating Pac-12 3 and WCC, whatever that is, 2. It’s also possible, not completely improbable, that Big 12 will have NINE in March Madness. Every team except Texas Tech. Since the rules forbid putting 2 teams from same conference in same quad, if Big 12 gets 8 in then they could wind up with all 8 in the Elite Eight! Wouldn’t that be something? The caveat for the Big 12 is that any teams that met in the conference tournament cannot meet till the Elite Eight because they have played each other 3 times -- twice during the regular season, as all Big 12 teams do, and a 3rd time in the conference tournament. In 2022 Texas Tech was the ONLY Big 12 team in its West quad, meaning it could not meet a Big 12 team before the Final Four. Baylor and Texas, in the East quad, could not meet before Elite Eight. TCU was only Big 12 team in South quad so could not meet Big 12 team before Final Four. Kansas and Iowa State, both in North quad, could not meet before Elite Eight. Last year, as I posted for 2023, EVERY Big 12 team if it kept winning would be in the Elite Eight. That can happen again this year, as I posted, if the Big 12 has 8 teams, which will not meet till the Elite Eight or Final Four. Sorry I didn't provide this example earlier for those trying to punch holes in me saying an All-Big 12 Elite Eight is possible. It was last year and it would be this year, too. If the Big 10 also has 8 teams they wouldn't necessarily NOT meet until the Elite Eight because the Big 10 has divisions and every team does not play 2 regular season games plus the conference tournament. Only the Big 12 has everyone play everyone twice and then the conference tournament where 3rd meetings are possible. [/QUOTE]
