I'm with JournCat.

The measure of things is where I disagree with many of you.

I can accept the argument of the excitement of a B10 tourney championship. However, to my point, are there any banners hung for a B10 tourney-only championships? I'm having a hard time finding one.

As for the comparison of a tourney championship to the Elite 8 ... no way!! I'd take something as simple as a list of tournament championships listed before a list of Elite 8 appearances at any school web site as simple proof.

And I'd take a Sweet 16 before a tourney championship also.

OK, enough of this. Gametime.

I've already expressed my dislike for these conference tournaments and I can understand and possibly support 112 idea. Question, who is the Big Ten Champ? Regular season leader or BTT winner? Who gets to fly the championship pennant? Face it these games mean very little.

Not to the players

Am I in the minority on this one?

I'm sorry, but I generally hope the Cats play a close game and lose today. I'll take the rest and preparation for the Thurs/Fri game - especially for a Thurs game. I don't think a championship is going to make a ton of difference in the seeding.

Four games in four days is a lot, and this is still a pretty short bench.
Well at least I know who to blame at this point

Though I disliked and opposed Sec 112's thoughts, I see now he really had some keen insight.

Figrating, if it makes you feel any better, I really opposed my thought also. I don't really want them to lose.

However, five minutes into the game, it was pretty evident they were dead - especially BMac, the engine that makes everything go. He was taking as little energy as possible to dibble the ball up the court ... against no pressure.

I'll take the rest.
