History: A conference loaded with history has three teams with 10+ tournament titles (Duke (22), North Carolina (18), and North Carolina State (10)). North Carolina State hasn’t won since 1987, however. It might surprise some that Syracuse and Louisville haven’t won a title since joining the league. Clemson, a league member since 1953,

The conference tournaments are in full swing, and there are a few storylines to follow – notably, bid stealers. All of the power conferences have the potential for bid stealing. If Rutgers gets hot and wins the Big Ten Tournament, someone loses their bid. As for the smaller conferences, there is potential for some bid-stealers. Teams on [&hel

History: Iona has dominated this tournament over the last several years, winning six of the last seven competitions. In the other year (2022), Saint Peter’s won the championship and became the first #15 seed to make it to the Elite Eight. Overall, Iona has 14 championships. Manhattan and Siena are tied for second-most with five titles. Return

History: Conference USA often feels like the island of misfit toys. The last time a current league member won the championship was in 2017 when Middle Tennessee cut down the nets. The Blue Raiders are the only current league member who has ever won this championship. Since 2017, Marshall, Old Dominion, North Texas, UAB, and Florida Atlantic have [&

History: Georgetown has fallen on hard times, but they have the most tournament tiles (8). It can be hard to believe that the Hoyas won the title as recently as 2021. Syracuse, long gone from the conference, has reached the title game the most often (15). Winning the Big East Tournament doesn’t typically equate to NCAA Tournament success. Vil

History: The wacky MAC typically produces a winner that teams don’t wish to see in the NCAA Tournament. Their most recent conquest was in 2021 when Ohio (who has a history of NCAA Tournament upsets) knocked off Virginia in a 13-vs-4 game. The past two years have produced close calls: Akron lost by four to UCLA in 2022 while Kent State lost to

History: North Carolina A&T has 16 conference titles, or 31.4% of all titles combined. However, they have won only once since their 1995 title (2013). The MEAC traditionally doesn’t do well in the NCAA Tournament, but there are a few notable upsets in its history. In 2012, #15 Norfolk State knocked off #2 Missouri. In 2001, Hampton pulled

History: Unlike other conferences, no one team has dominated this league. The leader in tournament titles is Northeast Louisiana, who won six titles between 1986 and 1996. Now known as Louisiana-Monroe, they left the conference after the 2006 season. Lamar is the active leader in titles, with four (none since 2012). In 2021, little Abilene Christia

History: In a world of constant flux, the Big Sky Conference has remained mostly intact. Southern Utah left the league in 2022, but that is a rarity (and they were only in the conference for ten years).  Montana and Weber State have traditionally dominated this league, with Montana winning 11 titles while Weber State has ten. However, Montana hasn&
