    In my opinion, there may well be a reasonable answer to this line of questioning. TV coverage of games and tournaments provides lots of money to the NCAA and the conferences. Would it be out of whack to imagine that the TV groups provide the NCAA with lists of teams that, in their opinion, would generate the largest levels of viewership for the NCAA tournament? Of course, higher viewership means increased revenue from the companies advertising during the tournament and this means more income for everybody. Everything has a valid reason, it is just a matter to find what valid reasons might be.

    To follow this line of reasoning, the NCAA committee would not be bound by a formal written agreement to go along with the choices provided by the TV groups, but they may not be formally forbidden from showing some degree of preference for the teams chosen by the TV groups either. Giving some preference to the teams chosen by the TV groups would make the committee's choices a tool used by the TV groups to increase their total revenue achieved per NCAA tournament. The amount paid to the NCAA and conferences for their coverage would also increase, which is a happy ending for everybody. 

    Just think about it, it is not fair, of course, but in the real world money has come ahead of fairness for a very long 

    The PGA Tour allows for tournaments to allow sponsor exemptions for players whom didn't qualify for the tournament but would provide a boost in ticket sales or TV viewership. So, hey, why not?

    Assuming Gibson doesn’t play tomorrow, we have an extremely limited bench. Perhaps we could try some compositions where we have all the freshmen getting a boost in minutes to compensate 

    Gibby plays a lot of minutes. There would have to be a large bench contribution to account for them all. Hopefully Gibson is sufficiently taped up and able to play 20 minutes or more. It's a big game but March is still more important.

    Kobe is our most consistent player.  Went to zone due to foul trouble.  61-57 with under five to go, we missed a layup and they took off. We have to figure it out the with 8 guys we have.  Robbie has to be better.  Same thing with Swope. 

     

    I have noticed Kobe to also be our most consistent player. Anya needs to refrain from shooting 3s unless the shot or game clock demands it.

    Avila needs to stow away his garbage YMCA bag of tricks. They won't work in this conference. Concentrate on how to use your body to box out and create low post angles. Ask Warlick for tips in that department if need be.

    I haven't figured out Swope's bag yet. He's quick but his handles are questionable. Maybe Kobe needs to handle the ball more.

    This all comes down to the A10 tourney.  We need Gibby healthy and bench roles carved out. If we cut the TOs down we got a chance. Only a few weeks left to find our groove. Go Billikens!
