No idea who all participated in this NCAA tournament ... but the makeup of the top 10 is interesting. No SEC teams, No Big 12 teams. No Pac 12 teams. And so on.

Fewer than 30 teams compete. Pretty mixed bag. No SEC, no Big 12. Only PAC 12 is Stanford.

Pac 12:
Stanford - 12th

SEC:
no teams*

ACC:
Notre Dame - 1st
Duke - 10th
Boston College - 18th
UNC - 26th

Big 12:
no teams

* I didn't check all conferences for their fencing history. The SEC used to have a lot of fencing teams, but by 1942 only Vanderbilt, Kentucky, and Georgia Tech competed in fencing.

I looked it up too. Seems like pretty much a collection of some of the better academic institutions. The others, like the SEC, probably opt to spend more of their $$ on football than fencing.

DuKe and UNC like PSU take fencing very seriously. Predates our entry into the Big 10.

If you were to name a conference that won the NCAAs, it would have to be the Ivy League ... they came in 2,3,4,8,and 9. Thats 5 out of 8 of their schools placing in the top 10, don't know if the other 3 schools field teams ... probably do.

The sec went all University of Chicago because they didn’t like the dark underbelly of college fencing.
