The Big East is going down. Hard.
Everyone was talking about the league all season long and its power in numbers, but now the conference has just two teams left standing following Notre Dame’s loss to Florida State.
It could have been one if not for the fact that Marquette played Syracuse – and one of those Big East teams automatically advanced.
There were a record 11 teams from the conference that got bids, but nine have been knocked out in the first week of play.
For all the criticism that the ACC took this season, no one has more teams left standing. Duke, North Carolina and Florida State all moved on.
Here’s the rest of the Sweet 16 by league:
ACC – 3
Big Ten – 2
SEC – 2
Big East – 2
Mountain West – 2
Big 12 – 1
Pac-10 – 1
A-10 – 1
CAA – 1
Horizon - 1
