The American did well to place teams in the NCAA Tournament in 2015-16, but appears to be a conference still seeking a clear identity and a signature program.
Conference Notes
2015-16 OVC Post-Mortem
No longer just the stomping grounds for a few elite teams, the Ohio Valley Conference unveiled a deeper version of itself in the 2015-16 campaign.
2015-16 Sun Belt Post-Mortem
The Sun Belt Conference provided the biggest surprise of the 2015-16 college basketball season, as Arkansas-Little Rock rose from 13 wins to 30 under a first-year coach.
2015-16 Big Sky Post-Mortem
The Big Sky was once again competitive, though a couple of familiar faces led the way in 2015-16. Could that change next year, in addition to the conference having more non-conference success?
2015-16 MEAC Post-Mortem
After a couple years of North Carolina Central serving as the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference’s meanest team on the block, the MEAC held considerably more suspense in 2015-16.
2015-16 Northeast Conference Post-Mortem
The Northeast Conference is always competitive, but this time around there is another important storyline with it – a potentially bright future with young talent.
2015-16 Atlantic Sun Post-Mortem
It would be hard to find a league that had a more suspenseful and more meaningful final day of its regular season than the Atlantic Sun Conference did this year.
2015-16 SEC Post-Mortem
Though challenged by Texas A&M, Kentucky basically ruled the roost in the SEC, and continues to do so as the conference as a whole is flagging.
2015-16 Big Ten Post-Mortem
The Big Ten had an enjoyable, entertaining, very nice 2015-16 basketball season, but enthusiasts of the conference can easily be forgiven if they were left with just a little bit of a dull taste at the end.
2015-16 Patriot League Post-Mortem
Though the Patriot League slipped a bit in 2015-16, it was still as competitive as ever. The league tournament then had quite a bit of history made to cap it all off.
