Message: [QUOTE="maple, post: 4570821, member: 7970"] They can be fun, like watching underdog teams go through the gauntlet and steal a bid. I personally enjoy that and I like getting to watch conferences I wouldn’t normally watch. I think the problem is still the lack of parity overall when it comes to the big dance. Even in the men’s side the 16-13 teams usually don’t fare so well, but [I]sometimes[/I] one of them can make a small run or at least grab a one game upset. On the women’s side it’s basically impossible right now. But also, the tourneys give players something to be excited about, I think. Yeah UConn winning the BE tourney year in and year out is just like, whatever for them. For other teams, going on a run and winning their conference tourney might be the biggest accomplishment their players ever get. In the end it does boil down to revenue, of course, but I can see the personal entertainment value and the value it holds for lesser programs. [/QUOTE]
