NCAA tournament: SEC breaks the record for most sweet 16 teams from a single conference

This year’s SEC continues to strengthen its case as one of the strongest basketball conferences of all time.

The league will send seven teams to Sweet 16 and break a record of the ACC nine years ago.

Ole Miss was the seventh SEC team that rose to the second week of the NCAA tournament on Sunday evening when the rebels in an 85-72 surprise concerned the state of Iowa No. 3. Alabama had helped the conference to combine the record hours with a victory over the seventh Saint Mary’s. (Kentucky and Florida had previously won their places in Sweet 16, as did Auburn, Tennessee and Arkansas.)

It is no surprise that the SEC will have seven of the last 16 teams of this season. The league dominated November and December in a way, if at all, conferences ever have before. The SEC won 88.9% of its games against other conferences, collected a record of 58: 19 against the other four power conferences and victories over Duke, Houston, Texas Tech and St. John’s.

Fourteen of the 16 teams of the SEC received the selection on Sunday when the 68-team field was unveiled. This destroyed the previous record of 11 NCAA bids from a conference that was determined by the Big East in 2011.

Auburn, Florida, Alabama, Tennessee, Kentucky and Texas A&M each received top four seeds in the NCAA tournament. The only one of these teams that were not fulfilled were the aggies that hide a lead against Michigan on Saturday afternoon in the second round in the second round in the second round.

The surprising Sweet 16 team of the SEC is Arkansas, which was only 0: 5 in the league game two months ago and festival outside the NCAA tournament. John Calipari’s Razorbacks have won 12 out of 17 games since then and in at least two decades with the exciting surprise on Saturday about the best team of St. Johns.
