Pretty impressive stuff in Rupp D3.  The University Conference has all four 1-seeds in the NT, and actually had the top 5 spots on the projection report until the conference tournament concluded (the 5th team lost in the CT final and dropped to 8th).  Can't say I've seen 1 conference have all four 1's before.  

No, I haven't either, especially at D3. I wonder if it's happened in D1.

I wondered if this had happened in Naismith's UAA conference...  They are one of the best D3 conferences, if not the best, in all of HD. 

Anyhow, I checked and they never got all 4 #1 seeds (checking all the way back to season 71).  To show just how dominant they have been:  seasons 71-83:  in those 13 seasons they have won 10 national titles, 8 runner ups.  they also had 3/4 of #1 seeds seven different times. 

In Rupp D3, the UAA has been really solid but nothing like Naismith UAA D3.  In  Rupp D3 UAA we've been shut out of winning the title for several seasons now.  Hopefully we'll break the curse this year. 

This used to be far easier in the days when RPI was the main determinant of seeding, as one powerful D3 conference could have 10 or 11 top 100 RPIs, which, when coupled with some 14-2, 15-1 conference records, could produce four 1 seeds.  However, since the advent of the Proj Report, I'm not sure if it's been done.  

We've been in line to get all 4 #1 seeds a couple times I believe in the Naismith UAA but the CT always ends up tripping us up. There are a number of power conferences in Naismith so a Capital team that went 15-1 in conference and won their CT for example is going to get a higher seed than our 4th team.

We did once have a #1 seed in the NT that had finished 4th in the UAA West division. That was pretty cool.

we (USA South) currently have the top 4 spots in D3 Tark. Of course, there's one coach trying his hardest to elbow his way in, and with an all-sim conference, it looks like he's going to finish the season undefeated. time will tell.

I've seen conferences have the top four going into the CT before, but this is the first time I've ever seen the top five. 

We did it a few seasons ago in D-II. SIAC in Smith. Our league is really deep, I was not one of the four.

In Knight, the SEC sent 4 teams to the Final 4 last season, which was quite nice. But we only had 2 of the top 4 seeds.

That coach is pretty much the worst.

We now have the top 6 spots on the projection report. There are still 3 days left of the regular season and the CT so there's a big chance it won't last. Still, I've never seen 6 from the same conference at any time before.

USA South in Allen had the top 3 overall seeds in season 78. 

Tark USA South is sweeping the #1 seeds and we have 2 #2s.

wuhhh

two of the four #1 seeds made the final four in UAA Rupp... and both made the finals. So, after seasons of dominating the conference RPI, we are finally going to have the NT champ (and runner up)!  Congrats to bobmeyer and madpad, and good luck to both in the finals.
