The Sweet 16 is now in the books as just eight teams remain in the running in the men’s NCAA tournament: No. 1 Kansas, No. 2 Villanova, No. 2 Duke, No. 4 Arkansas, No. 5 Houston, No. 8 North Carolina, No. 10 Miami (Fla.) and No. 15 Saint Peter’s.
However, before a national champion is crowned, it’s important to take stock of how the various conferences have performed in this year’s edition of March Madness.
The Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) has led the way in terms of winning percentage thus far thanks to the efforts of No. 15 Saint Peter’s. The Peacocks are perhaps the greatest Cinderella in tournament history, becoming the first 15-seed ever to advance to the Elite Eight, with wins over No. 2 Kentucky, No. 7 Murray State and No. 3 Purdue.
