Message: [QUOTE="UcMiami, post: 2110789, member: 199"] They had played and won the SEC tournament without Coates while Baylor had played and lost the B12 tournament without Jones so I don't think it would have changed them getting a #1 seed, though it probably would have change the order between them and Baylor. I am pretty sure the injury report was reserved in an attempt to get the OK region as the third #1 and it didn't happen so beyond the final four match-ups it didn't make much difference. Given the distance considerations (which were not enough to get Stanford into the Stockton regional - another inconsistency of the committee) it doesn't look to me that there would have been much change. And on Shea and Sveta - Sveta had been out half the year so that was a known, and something Uconn had already adjusted for. Still amazing to me that Sveta made AA that year playing in only the first 17 games! Serious respect from voters. And Uconn was a #1 seed in 2001 even after Shea went down in the conference final.
