When the SEC expanded from 12 to 14 teams and added Missouri and Texas A&M for the 2012-2013 school year, it figured the conference's basketball bids to the NCAA Tournament would increase.
Five SEC teams played in the NCAA Tournament in 2012, and Missouri and Texas A&M brought strong basketball resumes from the Big 12. The Tigers went to the NCAA Tournament four consecutive seasons before joining the SEC, and the Aggies made it six of the previous seven seasons.
But the bigger SEC wasn't better in 2013 when it came to basketball. Just three SEC teams -- Florida, Missouri and Ole Miss -- made the NCAA Tournament in 2013.
