Message: [QUOTE="CocoHusky, post: 4232935, member: 5823"] No.... obviously not for [B][U]every [/U][/B]team. What I'm suggesting is that the committee can and does take into account injuries when all the other considerations are not sufficient to distinguish between two teams and a distinction must be made. In my scenario Louisville and UCONN are in a virtual tie not only in the NET but they are close enough in rankings and the 4th #1 seed MUST be made. The next logical tie breaker is head to head. Once you get to this level of tie breaker it is perfectly appropriate for them to consider that one team was not a full strength when the teams played during the regular season. Another example is Villanova who is widely considered a bubble team. It would be perfectly appropriate for the committee to consider that Villanova lost 3 games when Siegrist was unavailable. To be clear I'm not saying the decision needs to go with UCONN's or Villanova's way what I'm saying is that the selection committee should consider it. [/QUOTE]
