ACC, Big Ten and Pat-IO rank as top leagues in men’s tournev By James M. Van Valkenburg <strong>NCAA</strong> Director of Statistics <strong>The</strong> Atlantic Coast Conference leads in all-time victories in men’s <strong>NCAA</strong> tournament play, while the Big Ten Confer- ence is on top in total Final Four appearances and Pacific-10 Conference teams have won the most championships. <strong>The</strong> above comparisons use only the actual conference lineups each season that competed for the conference title. Using current lineups projected back to the beginning products the same leaders but otherwise presents a vastly different picture. Marc about that later. <strong>The</strong> ACC enters this tournament with a one-victory edge, 176175, over the Big Ten. In Final Four teams, though, the Big Ten’s 30 is well ahead of the Pat-10’s 25. <strong>The</strong> ACC is next at 24 but its first season was 1954, while the other two go back to the first tournament. <strong>The</strong> Pat-IO has 13 championships (IO by UCI,A) to the Big Ten’s nine (five by Indiana). <strong>The</strong> ACC has won five crowns, as has the Southeastern (all by Kentucky). Here are all those with at least 17 all-time tournament wins: Most All-Time <strong>NCAA</strong> Tournament Wins By Conferences (Using actual conference lineups each season) Conference, Current Finishes: Name, First Season Wins CH FF Atlantic Coast, Big Ten, 1939 1954 176 175 5 9 zi Pacific-IO. 1939 117 13 25 Big Eight, 1939.. .: .: 109 18 Southeastern, 1939 107 : 13 Big East, 1960 101 2 8 Southwest Athl., 1939 70 0 12 Missoun Valley, 1939. 4 16 Western Athl, 1939’ Ei 2 West Coast. 1953 42 z Metropolitan, 1976 4-o z 5 Ivy, 1939 35 0 Big West. 1970 34 i Southern, 1939 :, 3 Atlantic 10, 1977 z 0 0 Ohio Valley, 1949 20 1 Sun Belt, 1977 M&American. 1953 17 17 : 0 1 0 R2" 17 16 12 17 18 1; a 16 II 0 7 A 24 Other Conferences All Independents 53-Year Totals 3: 1626 0 6 53 3 2:: 9 45 212 ‘Includes former Skyline 8 (Mountam States) Conference “Regional second place, or one win from Final Four Note that the Big East Conference, now in just its 13th season, has 101 victories, eight Final Four teams and two champions. It may be a surprise (although not to old-timers) that the Missouri Valley Conference ranks fifth with four champions and 16 Final Four teams, just two behind the fourth-place Big Eight Confcrcncc. <strong>The</strong> Valley’s four titles were won by Oklahoma State ( 1945 and 1946) and Cincinnati (1961 and 1962). Many of the oldest current conferences had different names in the past and slightly different lineups.

For instance, the new Great Midwest leaps all the way up to seventh place with 76 tournament victories, IO Final Four teams and three titles (Cincinnati two, Marqucttc one). <strong>The</strong> Southwest moves down one notch to eighth while the Atlantic IO lcaps to ninth, going from 23 victories to 55. <strong>The</strong> WAC stays at 53 for 10th. <strong>The</strong> Big Ten and Pat-IO do not change their Final Four numbers, but the ACC takes second with 27 and the Big Eight fourth with 23 (and four titles). <strong>The</strong> ACC cxtcnds its lead with 189 wins and the Big East jumps to third at I56 (with 14 Final Fours). Vermont women close <strong>The</strong> 26-O Vermont women, undefeated entering the North Atlantic Conference tournament, could become only the third undefeated entrant in the history of the women’s IIivision 1 championship tournament that started in 1982. l’hc other two wcrc ‘lizxas, 1986 champion, finishing 34-0, and I,ouisiana Tech, which lost in the 1990 national semifinals to linish tied for third. Thirteen entrants were once-beaten and only two of those won the title- Louisiana Tech in 1982 and Stanford in 1990. Two tinishcd second Louisiana Tech in 19X3 and Auburn in 1989. Two finished tied for third ~ Northeast I*ouisiana in 1985 and Texas in 1987. ‘l‘hirty-five entrants had two losses Short takes <strong>The</strong> Delaware men, 25-3 entering the North Atlantic Conference tournament after winning the regular-season title in their lirst season in the Icaguc, have the first 20-game winning season in school history. <strong>The</strong> Blue Hens did it with great balance six players averaging in double figures . .‘l’he 22-5 Hawaii women boast even greater balance, with no player averaging more than 23 minutes or 9.5 points. .Montana’s Shannon Cate has raised her career scoring total to 2,037 entering the Big Sky Conference tournament-more than any man or woman in Big Sky history.. . Iwo Maryland-Baltimore County seniors Anne Wellington (21) and Angel Webb (20) out-rebounded the entire Navy team, but Navy won, 82-63, with Angie Dobbs scoring 3X .Even though the Northeastern Illinois women had only six players available the last 14 games, they won nine games vs. seven victories the last six years combined. Three men’s coaches have reached milestones and a third is close Cat State Northridgc’s Pete Cassidy got his 300th win, Eckerd’s Jim Harley his 350th and the next victory for Kansas’ Roy Williams will be his tOOth in just four seasons- a total surpassed by only four Division I coaches in history (the record is 107 by North Carolina State’s Everett Case in I947 through 1950) .Earlier this season, Duke got its 500th victory at .
