Anyone think that teams that are already in the tourney take a dump....

on purpose to get more teams from the conference in the tourney?


Strange how there always is a couple teams that get in that are crap by beating a really good team that is a lock for the tourney.

somewhat, but only in the power conferences. i think its more about not giving a sh*t because they are usually already in and already have the seed they want and just want more time to prepare

I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.

I just think the home court advantage is the biggest in NCAAB. Many of these teams when taken out of their comfort zone just do not react well while others do.

was wondering the same thing myself earlier today Ron. I don't think the smaller conferences do just because the risk is pretty high and it is harder for at large.

Plus don't most of the coaches have some incentive written into their contract if they win the conference tournament. Probably isn't a ton of money but probably enough not to throw away on blowing tourney.
