Pac-12 Doing Well Has More Merit Than the Big Ten Doing Poorly

Today on Straight Outta Vegas, RJ Bell and Jonas Knox try to make sense of the Pac-12 exceeding expectations in the Tournament. Entering the Tournament, the Pac-12 had an over/under win total of 3.5 but they have 13 wins through the Sweet 16 with 3 teams remaining. From geography and travel to seeding and scouting in the pandemic, it's hard to determine why each team in the Pac-12 has done so well while the Big Ten and other conferences seem to struggle.
