Impressions by conference based on the opening round:
AAC -- Houston looks great but the rest have underperformed
ACC -- insanely good this year, maybe the best I've seen since the Big East put 3 teams in the Final 4 in the 80s
A-10 -- hot garbage (even their NIT teams laid eggs)
Big 12 -- overrated all year, but I still think TTU is pretty great
Big East -- really down this year and not even Nova is great
Big Ten -- they are what I thought they were... very deep conference of the good to very good, but no one looks great
MWC -- wow has that conference gone to crap
Pac-12 -- hot garbage through December, but teams improved as the season went on and it may only be warm garbage now
SEC -- very top heavy, but the 4 teams at the top can play with anyone
WCC -- turns out it really was Gonzaga and everyone else
