Message: [QUOTE="Plebe, post: 3782041, member: 6927"] Last season DePaul had its best season in many years (perhaps ever) and would've certainly been a 4 seed, if not higher, giving them home court for the first 2 rounds of the tournament for the first time. Even without home court advantage, DePaul has twice reached the Sweet 16 in recent memory, spoiling the hosting experiences of mighty Duke and Louisville in the process. And two years ago it took a huge comeback to get A&M past DePaul in College Station in round 2. All the bellyaching over conference competition is so egregiously misplaced. The nonconference schedule affords ample opportunity to schedule up, and Geno, for the most part, does a great job of doing so. This is UConn we're talking about. If we go back and look at UConn's undefeated seasons (all, what, 6 of them?), how many closely contested conference games did they have? And so how was this a problem again? [/QUOTE]
