[QUOTE="jrichisamazing, post: 1278976, member: 8500"] Nope, they will look at the whole season and nothing else (exception for major injuries). The obvious reason is some teams have stronger schedules or weaker schedules to end the season. One team going 4-6 against a tough schedule could be a lot more impressive than a team going 8-2 against an easy schedule. Also Let's say the Illini make it to Saturday and Malcolm Hill gets in foul trouble and they lose badly. Which is more fair? Penalizing them for a game that might have been a refs fault just because it's right before the tourney? Or looking at each game with equal weight? The only way they would look at last 10 games or something like that is if there is only a couple spots left and a handful of teams are exactly identical. But with all the other data they have, that is almost impossible. [/QUOTE]
