I was watching [women] North Carolina and Maryland play for the ACC championship yesterday and I kept hearing the announcer say that NC had won the ACC championship before but that they'd lost the NCAA championship.
At first I thought the tournament championships were like the eastern and western conference championships in the WNBA/NBA but then the announcer said that Maryland won the NCAA championship but not the ACC championship. So I'm confused. Someone please explain.
What are the specifics tocollegebasketball as far as the tournaments and NCAA championship goes?nba dunks
Incollegebasketball there are many conferences, including the ACC, SEC, Big East, Big Ten, etc. Each conference has an individual tournament to declare a champion specific to that conference. That conference champion gets an automatic bid to the NCAA championship. The NCAA tournament then consists of all the conference champions, and the best remaining teams in the country. So it is possible to win the NCAA tournament but not the conference tournament, and vice versa.
