as long as you have to play it, you should try to win
 
but conferences tournaments are, always have been, and always will be stupid and meaningless. they only exist to separate the rubes from their money.
 
On this point, I am 100% with John Calipari:
 
“Well, you are playing three games in three days; it doesn’t prepare you for anything. We just played a whole league schedule and now for our league, especially, it has no bearing on seeding, it proved it last year. So why are we playing? To play three games in three days, no bearing on seeding, maybe one team can play in, they had all season to play in. But, like I said, we have to play it so let’s improve our seed and hold our seed. The only thing here that is different is that our fans take their vacation money, rent money, cigarette money and they go to these tournaments. They can’t get tickets to our building and this is their chance so you almost feel an obligation to play well. I don’t know if we win but you have an obligation, they just made a trek; this is their deal so it’s different here. But, my feelings of conference tournaments have not changed, from when I was at Massachusetts, Memphis and now here.”
