   As promised here is the update of the NCAA tournament 
stats I posted last week. A few bug fixes (mostly 
transcription errors), a few new features, and updates to 
reflect the just-completed 1992 tourney.

   Stats begin with 1980 as:
a) my brackets only go back that far &
b) I think this was the first year a conference could
receive more than 2 bids (can anyone confirm this?)

   I chose 5 conferences based on the following criteria:
a) Conference membership had to have been fairly stable
thru the 80's (bye-bye Metro)
b) The conference must have received 4 or more bids at least 
6 of the 13 years (bye-bye Pac10, I think)
c) It must be a conference with which I'm familiar enough 
to recognize the teams (bye-bye Pac10 definitely).

   These criteria narrowed it down to 5 conferences:
The Big Three: ACC, Big 10, Big East
and two Wish-They-Weres: SEC and Big 8

Stats are compiled based on actual conf. membership each 
season (ie- Arkansas and Fla. States stats don't count
until 1992 -although they are parenthetically included in
the "By Team" section).

   Unlike the original post, I did include consolation 
games (there were only two) and intra-conference games
are NOT included in the major summary of conf. w-l pcts.
(they ARE included everywhere else).

   (Small Woof before proceeding... these stats leave no
doubt that the ACC is far & away the best NCAA tournament
conference!! ...we all knew that anyway, didn't we?)

And away we go...!
