Don't forget the SEC and PAC exist Eastcat. Those conferences play some pretty terrible basketball too. Shitty year in general.
UCLA is in the PAC and they have like eleventybillion titles, Oregon won the first tourney ever and Arizona has been just as successful as of late as KU has. Florida won it back to back in 06'07' and Kentucky bangs KU like a cheap hooker.
big-12 basketball is clown circus, KU just happens to be the tallest midget.
