Because conference tournaments are only in existence to make additional revenue, there's no guarantee that the winner will be one of the better teams. So, they could limit the conference tournament to the top 8 teams and do away with the 1 and 2 game byes that a lot of conferences have. Then hopefully only the top teams automatically qualify. However, teams that didn't qualify for the conference tournament can still make the Big Dance as at-large teams, which is every team's goal.

Do conference tournaments in the weaker conferences actually bring in net revenue?

I was at work and I thought while glancing at the TV that a Notre Dame player was being helped off the court. I couldn't watch because I was busy. Who was it? Any word?

Geno in his Pregame press conference (the end part) really attacked the idea of conference tournaments for 1 bid conferences and how terribly unfair it is
for a team which won the regular season to lose their bid just because a weaker team got hot (or lucky). Not only is it unfair to the team and their players who may have played 5 months for nothing but by sending a weaker team to the NCAA Tournament, you hurt your own conference. And as Plebe pointed out, how much money can these weaker conference tournaments really make? And to think the Ivy league whose endowments are off the scale has one. :confused:
 
Saturday morning. Watching the ESPN (SportsCenter, College GameDay) shows. One would not know there is a women's ncaa basketball tournament going on. Only seeing reports on the men's ncaa basketball tournament. And, then they do a segment on NBA results. Sigh. DAMN

Don't blink. There are a few tidbits if I recall (at least in the late night coverage)

1) The unbelievable call where TN had a basket disallowed because it got stuck in the net and the opposing player popped it out above the net.
2) The banked 3pt shot last second to send the Villanova game to OT (made #2 on Top 10)
3) The triple double of Ionescu
4) An ironic connection about how St Joe might get some ideas about knocking of a #1 after UMBC but UConn is a different animal.

Apparently it's a different ankle than the one that was operated on last year.
Nonetheless, this is bad....why did the Irish have to give up yet another thing for Lent? :(

Kat is the kind of player you notice just as much as when she's gone, particularly on things like ball movement and help-side defense.

She's also the kind of player that would've been great against Harry and the Wildcats...they're not too tall but not too small (most of the players are between 6' and 6'1"), and Kat is 6'2". MM said x-rays will be taken today and hopefully -- knock on blarney stone -- she'll be able to get back next week, if the Irish get by the Wildcats on Sunday in this Big East redux.
 
Two questions: How does S Car beat a 15 seed by a mere 11?
How does ND allow a 16 seed to score 81?

It’s tournament time. Teams are playing out of their minds. And parity is creeping up on the game.

Ask the Virginia men how a high s ed can lose to a low seed

I have no idea but am guessing that the reason for them is the revenue that they are hoping for. Otherwise why have them because the tournament makes the regular season worthless unless the no. 1 seed is the tournament winner.

I’m a night owl, so it doesn’t bother me, but people who bring kids to the games are unhappy. I don’t understand why the west coast games aren’t the late (in the east) games.
