A few things I took away from what little I have actually seen from the conference basketball tournaments:
1: The SEC is not as strong as people give it credit for.
2. The top teams in the ACC are very strong. The semifinal and final games showed that no one wants to see UNC, Duke, Clemson or Va. Tech early on in their brackets.
3. Memphis will do fine as long as it plays teams on par with their Conference USA competition. I think they are a coin-flip with any solid team from a big conference and would fall to any of the ACC teams I just listed.
And before anybody makes comments about me being an ACC shill, let’s remember that I’m a Big Ten guy. But let’s face it, the Big Ten is about fifth in terms of conferences this year.
