Message: [QUOTE="sun, post: 4841928, member: 11664"] Huskynan, If you've ever watched auto racing, toward the end of a race the announcer will provide the lap times of the 2 lead cars. For instance the announcer will say car A is 10 seconds ahead with 7 laps to go, & car B is running laps 2 seconds faster than car A. This reveals that car B could possibly catch up to car A in 5 laps with 2 more laps to go after that. Then it's up to the drivers & the traffic on the track to see which car willl win. But at least the viewer is being informed in advance that it's mathematically possible for car B to catch up to car A if there aren't any crashes. It can signal that the ending is worth watching & will be exciting. If the viewer is kept in the dark about the lap times then they can lose interest in the outcome which isn't good for the TV ratings & advertisers. The NET is leaving out information that could show emerging trends regarding how solid of a lead that UConn has on its #4 NET ranking relative to other teams close to them in the rankings. It could generate more interest by letting fans see the daily fluctuations in a team's actual NET score vis-a-vis opposing teams scores instead of simply seeing their rankings. [/QUOTE]
