Message: [QUOTE="pokercuse08, post: 4959420, member: 6535"] I'm not sure exactly how to quantify this, but if you get a power conference team properly motivated to go destroy a patsy, I think they are going to meet their margin expectations at a much higher frequency than you'd see in a game against a team that has enough talent to belong on the same court. A lot of what dictates margin in non-conference game against cupcakes is how long the starters play, how much mercy the head coach shows, etc. NET is incentivizing scheduling cupcakes and smoking them, when this isn't really good sportsmanship OR good for the sport/teams on either side. If you throw NET out of the equation and ask me what I'd like to see Autry do if we're up 20 with 10 minutes left against a cupcake, my answer is to develop depth. Add NET in and I'm going to have to say keep playing the rotation and pour it on. For those decisions to potentially affect who gets into the dance is awful for college hoops. [/QUOTE]
