With no Big Ten teams making the Sweet 16 (where's Rut?
), and no Big East Teams making it to the Final Four, it is clear that the SEC with TWO teams in the Final Four holds the bragging rights for 2006.
The Pac-10 did better than expected with UCLA in the FF and narrow losses by Arizona and Washington.
Of course, George Mason out of the Colonial is the story of the tournament!
(one smile for each tourney win so far)
