Message: [QUOTE="CL82, post: 4254690, member: 44"] I would imagine that they give some thought as to a teams ability to draw tv viewers when they scheduled game times, but I’ve never heard it specifically said. I absolutely agree that the fact that UConn fans will buy tickets and come and watch games directly impacts Bridgeport‘s viability as a regional venue. Geography impacts regional placement. The NCAA has expressly said that. But all those things being true, if you don’t win enough games, none of it matters. Connecticut was facing that hard reality this season. In the end though, the team was able to push through hardship, disease, and injury and keep winning games with a depleted roster. It was those wins that got them the two seed. But as you pointed out, the losses kept them off the top line, just as it should. [/QUOTE]
