Conference Tournaments Do Not Matter

[duhondukie]

Just sitting here listening to the Chairman of the Committee and it sounds like things were pretty well locked in with the one seeds and they did not even compare Duke to the other one seeds. At this point how do conference tournaments matter? I know we moved up a little bit come on.

The conf tournament sure helped us. We could've played Nova a game earlier as the 4 seed. I'd much prefer to see them with a trip to the FF on the line. Our coach has a pretty good E8 track record

They had us us the number one 4. Had we stayed there, we play Zags in sweet 16. Hollis' answer for UNC over Duke is a joke and based on thinking 15 years ago when everybody played everyone home and home in conference...

I don't quite understand the value of doing it the way he described, with the "scrubbing" process, vs. just waiting until everyone is done with all their games and the dust has settled, then just compare full resumes. But what do I know.

I thought the guys said that before the ACC Tournament we were a 4. We jumped up to a 2. Perhaps I heard him wrong.

But top 4. Now we are bottom 2. So we beat 68, 7, 5, 23 RPI on four-straight days and go up 5 on S-Curve? UNC has basically nothing in road and neutral wins and they go from 3 to 3?

Okay. Either way I'm not too concerned. I like our draw. If we play like we have been, we're in for a fun tourney.

I'd rather play Nova in Garden than Zags out West. We never do well on the coast.

I would rather see South Carolina in the 2nd round than Marquette.
