Of the 34 at-large teams in last season's NCAA Tournament field, can you name the one that had the best winning percentage vs. NCAA qualifiers heading into the tournament?

Part II. ... can you name the two teams that had the worst winning percentage vs. NCAA qualifiers heading into the tournament?

Your options are:

Arizona (nope)
Arizona State
Boston College (nope)
BYU
Butler
Cal
Clemson
Connecticut
Dayton
Florida State
Illinois
Kansas
LSU
Marquette
Maryland (nope)
Michigan
Michigan State
Minnesota
North Carolina
Ohio State
Oklahoma (nope)
Oklahoma State
Pitt (nope)
Syracuse
Tennessee
Texas
Texas A&M (nope)
UCLA
Villanova
Wake Forest
Washington
West Virginia
Wisconsin (correct answer from RWs; tied for worst at 4-10)
Xavier

If no one guesses correctly, correct answers coming at 2 bells.
 

Total shot in the dark here. . .

I'll say Pitt for part I.

For Part II, I'll say BC and Arizona
 

Nice to hear from you again Coolhand. Unfortunately, both answers are incorrect.

Pitt was 10-3 (3rd best).

BC was 4-5 (23rd), Arizona was 5-9 (29th).
 

Pure guess, but I'll go with Louisville for part I...Wisconsin and Maryland for part II
 

RWs, you got one correct. Wisconsin tied for the worst with a 4-10 record.

Maryland was 5-10 (31st).

Louisville was an automatic qualifier, so it is excluded.
 


Part I: Oklahoma

Part II: Wisconsin and Texas A&M
 

Nope & nope (RWs already got Wisconsin).

Oklahoma was 10-4 (6th).

Texas A&M was 6-5 (14th).
 


The remaining correct answers

Wake Forest, which lost in the 1st round to Cleveland State, had the best record vs. NCAA qualifiers heading into the tournament at 10-2 (83.3%).

Oklahoma State matched Wisconsin's 4-10 (28.6%) mark for the worst record. Interestingly, both teams made it to the 2nd round.
 



Michigan St for question one.

Syracuse for two.
