Do we lose to Marquette this year if we didn't have SC on Feb 5 and Marquette away on Feb 8? Or to both ND and Md. away on Sundays early following home games Friday night? I thought the scheduling this year was actually adversarial in nature and while it is always a factor it was especially disadvantageous with a depleted lineup. For the Big Dance, the point is that equity is the goal, a fair contest without advantages to one party or the other in the NCAA, since that is their motto. It's not about excuses, it's about understanding how factors that are outside of the control of the teams affect basketball. We have the first two games in Storrs but the Regionals are in Greenville, SC. Let's see how many complaints there are about Storrs and how few there are about Greenville. [/QUOTE]
