any thoughts on reg season champs falling

[pt1gard]

pacific (crushed)

louisville (no cover)

OU (su loser)

zona (pussies)

buffalo (collapse as slight faves))

utah (punked by Ritchie Mckay)

and more u guys can prob think of, anyhow the faves and conf. winners all lost--any prior back log of past year stats bear this out as a trend?

point is, in my sleep deprived state, do these teams really care?

add roys NC team that no showed for 2 days?

i would think the dogs clawign for dance would be big money winner this year; just curious if its been that way for decades?

Hey gregg

Congrats on high school endeavor- I actually got to watch the game here in NY due to Fox Sports Northwest or something rather.

I think you see top teams fall for a few reasons-

It has been shown the last 5 years that the committee does not take into account the conference tourney when it comes to the 1 and 2 seeds. Many coaches are concerned that playing 3/3 will wear their team out and hinder the preparation for the NCAA which starts less than a week after the big 6 conference tourneys. I believe you run into a bevy of issues- A lot of teams who have no chance to get into the NCAA's play for their life because they know survive and advance or lose and go home. No more next games- Thus you see renewed play from teams- For example- West Virginia, South Florida, Iona, etc etc. they go fast and hard-

Finally some coaches just do not give a shit about the conference tournaments. That reflects in the players etc etc

conf tourneys are a joke and have very little effect in seeding
