Message: [QUOTE="jncuse, post: 208104, member: 1969"] DId I say the BET did not matter? No - I noted that Cuse and Notre Dame did play there way in recently. I only commented on the ridiculous notion that you are claiming that wins in the first round of the BET add to a team's resume. Wins in the seoncd and third round absolutely can put teams over the top because they can be quality wins. And its a win-win, when it is two quality teams. But the first round can only knock a team off the bubble, not put them over the top. Beating Depaul, Rutgers, St john's, Villanova or Providence adds zero to your resume. They are pure nuisance game, that can only hurt you. When the only positive from winning a game is that you avoided a bad loss, the system that created that matchup is not helping you. [/QUOTE]
