Message: [QUOTE="Cuseball, post: 1004622, member: 1603"] Despite my disgust with how the season played out, I couldn't help thinking about the makup of this year's Sweet Sixteen. Many on the board say conference tournmaents are meaningless. Here's a pretty strong counter to that assumption. There are 16 teams remaining in the hunt for the championship: [LIST] [*]12 of these teams played in their conference championship game (Florida, Kentucky, MSU, Michigan, UCLA, Zona, Ville, Uconn, Iowa State, Baylor, Virginia, SD State) [*]3 of the other teams lost to the eventual conference tournament champion in their tournament (Tennessee lost to Florida, Wisconsin lost to Michigan State and Stanford lost to UCLA) [*]only Dayton did neither of the above as they lost to St. Joes by 3 [/LIST] I'm too lazy to look at previous years but for this season it is quite obvious that doing well in the conference tournaments translated into a good run in the NCAA's. Cuse! [/QUOTE]
