Message: [QUOTE="cuse522, post: 958853, member: 1149"] This obviously being our first year playing in a conference with a title game on Sunday, how will that impact our shot at the 1-seed if it comes down to it? For example, there are a lot of scenarios that could play out where we potentially contend with Duke for a 1 seed and MSG, and we meet them in the conference title game. In that scenario, does it help or hurt to have it played on Sunday? My gut is that it hurts, because they would save one 1-seed and one 2-seed for the winner/loser, and we'd be less likely to get a 2-seed at MSG. If the game were Saturday, they would be more likely to jostle it so that Duke would get Memphis if it got the 1 and we'd get MSG as a 2 or vice versa. So it would actually hurt both teams, right? Thus, in my opinion, the key of not letting our 1-seed come down to the ACC Tourney. Win out and lock it up. [/QUOTE]
