So, what college conference was the biggest winner on the NBA's draft night?
Technically, it would be the ACC and the Pac-12 at seven picks apiece. But realistically, it was a relatively balanced night for conference bragging rights.
Six Big East players (well, five that actually played for a Big East team this past season) were selected, as were five from both the Big Ten and the SEC. The Big 12 and Mountain West checked in with four players apiece.
The Atlantic 10 and Conference USA were shut out, while the Patriot League had two players selected after going the last two decades and change with only one draft pick.
As for individual schools, Arizona, Duke, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisville and Michigan each had multiple players selected.
