If ever there’s a league that deserves to gloat a little bit, it’s the Western Athletic Conference, the once-proud league that has struggled to survive in recent years but fought back with a very nice 2016-17 season.
Conference Notes
2016-17 Atlantic 10 Post-Mortem
The Atlantic 10 went somewhat as expected this year in that the top three teams were expected to be there. Things will look a little different on the benches next year, and there may be other places where that is the case as well.
2016-17 OVC Post-Mortem
Belmont again proved why it’s one of the model programs in the country, while Jacksonville State made a surprising rise in the postseason in the Ohio Valley Conference in 2016-17.
2016-17 MAC Post-Mortem
The Mid-American Conference in 2016-17 looked a lot like the Mid-American Conference in 2015-16, with big men, Akron, and a conference tourney upset among the storylines.
Mountain West 2016-17 Post-Mortem
The Mountain West was a little better this season, though not as good as a few years back. It was, however, a fun conference to watch, as little went as predicted.
2016-17 MVC Post-Mortem
Last year was the end of a storied run in the Missouri Valley Conference, and the 2016-17 season was too, as Wichita State concluded a 68-year run in the league.
2016-17 America East Post-Mortem
Not much changed in the standings this year, though one thing was different: the degree to which the champion dominated and made history in the process. Will much change next year?
2016-17 Big 12 Post-Mortem
The Big 12’s version of a down year was still one just about any other conference would take, as the 10-team league was once again one of the country’s very best conferences
2016-17 CAA Post-Mortem
The CAA had a little bit of everything in 2016-17, the first in the post-Tom Yeager era.
2016-17 Conference USA Post-Mortem
Middle Tennessee State followed up its stunning 2016 NCAA Tournament victory with a thoroughly dominant season, easily the class of Conference USA in 2016-17.
