BracketBuster Analysis
While the BracketBuster event is really all for the single team's profile, I thought it would be fun to look at which conerence had the best record of the day.
I counted teams eligible if they had just TWO teams participate, meaning that the America East Conference (0-1) and Conference USA (Memphis, 1-0) are not included in the list.
Conference records for BracketBusters
A few thoughts...
The Horizon League's record is quite surprising, especially given the fact that one of their two losses is nationally-ranked Butler! I've heard a lot about Butler, and maybe about the two teams that Butler lost to, but that's about it. If any team other than Butler comes out of this league, they could be a dangerous opponent in the tournament.
The Missouri Valley really played like a mid-major conference today. Most of their teams had marquee matchups, to be sure, but a 5-4 record and lumped into the middle of the above list is not anything to boast about.

notes-
Wow, this weekend really decimated the list. I expected to add a "4-Loss" group by the end of the month, but it looks as if that group will become significant by next week. We shall see.
