Message: [QUOTE="Bigboote, post: 4558892, member: 7631"] I'd say maybe a little too much importance is given to the Conference tourneys. (If any importance is given to the NET, then I'd say way too much importance is given to the NET.) Thing is, I think the panel should give more weight to recent games, the "what have you done for me lately" thing. And the conference tourney is what the teams have done lately. Early exits may reveal some flaws in teams that lose to low-quality opponents, and the later rounds can shed light on how some teams (LSU) play against higher-quality opponents. If Ohio State beats Michigan, Indiana, and Iowa three consecutive nights, I don't care whether it's the tournament or not, that should really polish up their resume. Same thing if Washington State wins out against Utah, Colorado, and UCLA. Virginia Tech, OTOH, will only meet one ranked team in the ACC tourney, so I'm not sure if that's enough to get them to a one seed even winning the tournament. [/QUOTE]
