Again, I believe this effect is overstated.  I dont think there are a lot of games that end up with 15 point margins that could realistically be 45-50.  Certainly there are some games where a team eases up at the end, but I would be very interested to see how often this happens, how much it only goes in one direction, and what kind of impact it would really have if they did something like the Cleaning the glass garbage time.  This is their definition of garbage team for NBA.  Would be interested to see if the NCAA can implement something like this.

TCU has crushed a ton of bad teams.  (Their first 6 games were against teams in the KP 230 or worse range, they were at home for all 6 and won by an average of 30 points)

But they also beat Houston, the #1 team in the country.  They won at Baylor.  They've lost games in the Big 12 by 1 point twice (@Texas Tech, #31 in KP, and Iowa State, #11), by 2 points (at Kansas, #15) and by 4 points (at Cincy, #47).  It's not enough to just beat up really bad teams.  You need to play well against good teams as well.  We've consistently been run off the court by good teams.
