In the latest bracketology I noticed as of now 7 teams from the SEC. I've heard the SEC is good in basketball now but the past two tournaments indicate otherwise.
2022 and 2023 the SEC had a combined 14 teams make the tournament. If my research is correct they went 4-5 in the second rounds, 1-3 in the sweet 16's, has 1 Elite 8 team to show from those 14 entrants.
Something to keep an eye on when that conference starts exiting the dance again.
