Message: [QUOTE="cpatrocks, post: 206084, member: 1710"] I still don't buy it. If they did a tradional 16 team bracket, we'd (the #1)theoritically play the 8th seed in the second round after demolishing the 16th seed. I don't see how destroying DePaul a day earlier would make playing the #8 seed any easier...and It doesn't change anything for the #8 seed. They still had to play one game prior to facing the #1. If the #9 seed upset the #8 seed, they would only have had to play ONE GAME rather than having had to play 2 games in the current format. If you're going to dismiss my comment about having just as much to play for, than I can just as easily dismiss the comment about the lower seeds having momentum becuase they just one a game or two against inferior competition. Yes these guys are athletes and compeitors and they want to win the BET, but clearly there eyes are on the real prize. You think Carmello is really upset he lost the BET in 2003? [/QUOTE]
