CBB is very cyclical (at least it has been the last few years) which is one of the things I like about it versus a lot of other college sports 23-24 ACC dominated the tournament 24-25 SEC dominated the tournament 25-26 B1G dominated the tournament And then the top of the Big East and Big 12 are always killers. It’s kinda hard to say any one conference “owns” the sport bc there’s really only a couple teams in each high major conference that even make the sweet 16 all that consistently.
People get caught up in it bc they’re arguing their team’s playoff resume or ranking which is understandable, but it gets to a point (especially this past season) where so many people are arguing that literally anybody that’s not in their team’s conference is a fraud that it just gets ridiculous. So many people wouldn’t admit IU was legit until they won the B1G, when it was obvious when they beat Oregon literally months before.
Yup. I remember VT fans were giving us shit for our stadium being empty in seasons where we went 3-9 and 3-7 (season got cut short cause 3 of our players died), like sorry most of us would rather go to bars than watch our team get 40-pieced by Georgia Tech. Like our fan engagement is awful and, until recently, catered more to the older fans, but at the same time you can’t blame fanbases of teams who sucked in recent memory for wanting to do something else.
I’m not on a high horse lmafo. Are you genuinely implying that it was annoying as fuck when SEC fans did this, but now it’s ok if you to do it bc “it’s your turn” Like if that’s the case you don’t even get to be mad in the first place bc you’re no better at all then the mfs you’re dunking on
