Message: [QUOTE="businesslawyer, post: 5010139, member: 55"] I don’t know what “game the system” means the way you used it. “The system” rewards playing good teams, playing them on the road and, most importantly, playing good teams on the road. The analysis of UConn’s season is we were very disappointing OOC, but the record was against a huge percentage of good teams with an overwhelming number of the games on the road. Then, when we got into the conference schedule, we dominated and the Committee has the impossible job of determining whether the Big East was just overrated or we were a better team than many, including me, thought, but with just too tough a schedule to be surprised. The OOC SOS behind all the losses would not have helped us if we didn’t dominate the Big East, and the Big East hadn’t made a much bigger splash in early season OOC play than prior years. Having said that, I am really uncomfortable that we are in and Northeastern is out, but these decisions at the margins will always be debatable and, ultimately, it’s not my problem. We have a second life — win game 1 (and anyone can win a single baseball game) and the world looks totally different. [/QUOTE]
