Message: [QUOTE="storrsroars, post: 4925849, member: 2500"] That's what most of us tune in for during the first and second rounds. Nobody is all that interested in the 8/9 game. The 3/14, 4/13, 5/12 and 6/11 games are generally far more interesting, even if for only a half. We get to see players we might not ever otherwise see. And the 7/10 games more often than not feature a 10 seed that had to get hot just to get in vs some 'meh' 5th place P4 squad. If it's inevitable that there must be expansion, what I'd like to see is that every AQ gets into the main field. The mediocre teams from the P4 go into an expanded first four, whether that be first eight or first twelve, and maybe have to play two games to get into the main field. We're generally not talking about truly deserving teams, so make 'em work. Hell, use Selection Sunday to play the first knockout round. If the P4 wants this bad enough, everyone will move their conference tourneys so they end on Saturday. [/QUOTE]
