It's not twisted logic...why would a league want to see potential teams from their league miss the NCAAs, if they can avoid it....you do realize that the same rotation of referees are within the same league games almost every night....??
Nova and others that are already in the NCAAs are not going to be remembered for winning a regular season title....the conference title winner can easily launch a team to the seeding....plus we have already seen Duke lose twice to sub. 500 teams and not have anything happen to their seeding or projected seed on brackets....and I'm the one with the twisted logic...??
I am making and stating an observation that you can set your watch to within 10 to 14 days from the end of the regular season...most, if not all of these resumes are finalized....that's not opinion, that's factual.
