The updated NCAA record for ACC teams thru Sunday's games is now 61-29 (0.678). The SEC is now 25-20 (0.556). Again, these are tourney games since 2010 excl. LPT and U of L.Well, let's look at the ACC vs. SEC since Pitino Lite arrived. That's the six-year period 2010-2015. The ACC's NCAA record during that period excluding U of L's results was 49-28 (0.636). Again, you don't play yourself. The SEC's record without LPT was 23-19 (0.548).
Before you start saying the %'s aren't much different, you also have to look at the number of games/teams involved. In that same time frame, there were 30 bids to ACC teams and 19 to SEC teams not named U of L or LPT. [We can actually update those numbers including this year's bids: now 37 for the ACC, and 21 for the SEC excl. LPT.]
Except for LPT, the SEC has now played exactly half as many NCAA tournament games as the ACC excl. U of L in that time frame. The NCAA bids tell the same story. There are about half as many tournament-quality teams in the SEC vs. the ACC. And those fewer teams don't individually do as well as their ACC counterparts.
"Elite program", my a$$...
