For bragging rights at this point in the tournament, I'd give the nod to MAAC, with the PAC-12 on their heels.

Counting teams in the tourney is subject to selection committee/ranking bias.  Wins by seeded teams doesn't seem terribly informative. (Really, how much credit should be given to Bullyor for beating Texas Southern by a big score?)  That means that saying the PAC-12 is 9-1 isn't terribly meaningful until you dig down a bit.

But counting upsets, and by how many seeded positions, does give credit where it is due.

MAAC +15:  12 Quinnipiac vs 5 Marquette; 12 Quinnipiac vs 4 Miami
PAC-12  +12:  10 Oregon vs 7 Temple;  9 California vs 8 LSU;  10 Oregon vs 2 Duke
BIG 10  0 +2:  5 Ohio St vs 4 Kentucky;  9 Purdue vs 8 Green Bay
<other conferences in the tourney but not upset>: 0
Horizon  -1:  9 Purdue vs 8 Green Bay
SEC -2:  9 California vs 8 LSU;  5 Ohio St vs 4 Kentucky
AAC -3:  10 Oregon vs 7 Temple
ACC -8:  12 Quinnipiac vs 4 Miami
