SEC Basketball

One thing that bugs me when I listen to discussions about Kentucky is how they always talk about them playing in a weak basketball conference.  Let's take a quick look at this weak basketball conference and how they have performed in the NCAA Tournament over the past 10 years.


Conference     WPct     F4s     BidAvg    % F4
SEC                   64.0%      7           4.4           16%
ACC                  60.5%      4           5.2            8%
Big 10                60.1%      8           5.9           14%
Big East             59.6%      9           7.9           11%
Pac 12                57.1%      3           4.5            7%
Big 12                56.7%      2           5.6            4%
for 2014 I combined the American and the Big East

So which conference has on average over the last 10 years the least bids a season, the SEC.  Which conference has the highest winning percentage, the SEC.  The SEC has had a 16% success rate of getting their teams into the final four, the highest rate.

I'm tired of hearing about how the SEC is a weak basketball conference.
