I promised in last week’s post about the NCAA conferences that I would take a look at the websites of all of the teams that received automatic bids by winning their conference tournaments. I’ve changed that slightly, so instead I want to show some of the best and worst websites of this year’s NCAA tournament teams.

Without further ado, here are the websites…

The best websites

I chose these websites for a number of reasons, but mostly because they combined good, clean designs with a usable interface that easy to find the information you’re looking for.

University of Akron

Binghamton University

Butler University

Cornell University

University of Louisville

University of Michigan

Purdue University

Robert Morris College

Interestingly, scroll up and look at the similarities between this website and Cornell’s. Don’t they look strangely similar?

Siena College

Temple University

University of Tennessee

Texas A&M University

Xavier University

The worst websites

As I’ve discovered, there are a lot of bad university websites out there – and it’s not just limited to the smaller schools. It’s surprising that some of the biggest-name schools in the tournament have such bad websites, but sadly, that’s the case.

Duke University

University of Kansas

University of North Carolina

North Dakota State University

University of Northern Iowa

Radford University

University of Southern California

Stephen F. Austin State University

Syracuse University

University of Utah

Villanova

Western Kentucky University

University of Wisconsin

Thoughts?

It was hard for me to narrow down the field to the best and the worst, since there were a lot of websites that fell somewhere in between. But, now that you’ve seen these websites, what do you think of how I grouped them? Are there any that you really liked or disliked, or any that you felt belonged in a different category?
