Unless you are a heavy favorite having a game to get acclimated is a huge advantage. The lower seeds are about to be 4-0 against teams coming off of byes so far in this tournament.

And FYI I started this thread before the game tonight.

It’s completely fair. Lower seeds have to win way more games.

Lower seeds are 3-0 so far after the first round

CaliWG

Which means higher seeds crapped the bed. Love it

That’s bad for the conference

CaliWG

But good for basketball.

San Diego has been playing for two days. They will be tired tonight.

Brain Fowler calls it 10 minutes into the 2nd half, if BYU takes care of business SD tanks.

These are college kids. Energy is rarely an issue.

Yeah and in the WCC the excuse was that BYU played 3 nights in a row.

It's Gonzaga's conference. The format changed at Gonzaga's demands.

Super lame excuse. Go to the practice gym and play a warm up game then.

SlantRoute

it’s absolutely an excuse. And very stupid

Is the 4-0 record of lower seeds an excuse? Sounds more like evidence.

CaliWG

False.

BYU didn’t get a shoot around at orleans

BYU has more access to private gyms than any team in the country.

They had a shoot around

That is just dumb. This is their third game in 3 nights.

They’re college kids. It really doesn’t matter.

That means they should be tired

I posted this before the BYU game

I see that but playoff format shouldn't be an excuse.
