[QUOTE="Emerson Bigguns, post: 1613312, member: 666858"] The B1G teams also spent the previous weekend in Indy. Some teams never left. Could familiarity have bred a touch of complacency? Maybe it just didn't click w/o the travel? Who knows? Really weird season. A single elimination tournament's results are just one data point to judge the strength of conferences. I believe the B1G had a lot of really good teams, very few doormats. If NCAA held a much smaller tournament with best of 3 series' the results throughout history would be WILDLY different. We would have a better idea of who the best team was from year to year, but it would probably be less fun on aggregate. The NCAA tournament is special BECAUSE it is so volatile. Get in and get hot, or go home. [/QUOTE]
