Correct. And I realize the OP said "where the school plays basketball." Just adding some additional information (in part because you wouldn't necessarily have expected those schools to have been in the BW at all).

Don't forget the Big East (1979-2013)/AAC -- 34 BB schools total so far.

Big East (1979-2013)/AAC
ACC: Boston College, Louisville, Miami-FL, Notre Dame, Pittsburgh, Syracuse, Virginia Tech
Big 12: Central Florida, Cincinnati, Houston, West Virginia
Big East (2013-): Connecticut, DePaul, Georgetown, Marquette, Providence, Seton Hall, St. John's, Villanova
Big Ten: Rutgers
Current Members: Charlotte, East Carolina, FAU, Memphis, North Texas, Rice, SMU, South Florida, Temple, Tulane, UAB, UTSA, Wichita State

Not sure if Wichita State counts as a G5 school, but it's in a G5 conference.
