Partially correct answer. It was 1991.

It was the Big East with 7 bids from a 9 team conference. That's a percentage of 77.7%.

Didn't the Big East pretty much flop in the tourney that year too?

Edit: I see Seton Hall St John's lost in the Elite 8

Getting 2 teams to the Elite 8 is considered to be flopping?

Interesting, I didn't know this. So the BE is responsible for the largest percentage of teams in the NCAA, the most teams in the NCAA, The most teams in the Sweet 16, the most teams in the Elite Eight and the most teams in the Final Four. What a great league the BE was.

And the most #1 seeds. And, I think there is something about the number of different teams that made the tourney in a set number of years, and the number of different final four teams.

You know what though, despite those elite couple of 8s, and in lieu of what it had done in the tourney since 1984, 1991 was definitely considered a flop at the time.

Man that was such a bad year in our neck of the woods. I think that was the first year of the last version of the main version of the Metro Conference, and a league that usually got 3-4 bids out of 7 teams, got two, with Louisville, Cincinnati, and Memphis all sitting home, and Florida State and Southern Miss dancing in our spots.

Don't let our performance against our terrible, terrible schedule fool you. This is entirely smoke and mirrors. Wake is beyond god awful and will be until our coach is fired, our players transfer, a real coach is hired and real players are recruited. Until then we are making a mockery of the game of basketball.
