Just in case people keep thinking that the Horizon League is shit besides Butler, here are the numbers of finishes by teams beating Horizon League teams in the NCAA Tournament.
Since 2000 (16 bids, three at-large), the 16 teams to beat Horizon League opponents finished:
Four National Champs
Three National Runner-ups
Two Final Fours
Two Elite Eights
Four Sweet Sixteens
One round of 32
So, of the teams that beat Horizon League members in the NCAA Tournament since 2000, nine have reached the Final Four. More than HALF of all teams to beat Horizon League members since 2000 followed that up with Final Four appearances.
