The only reason I can think of for not doing this is they don't want to add one more day to the tournament for the play-in game with the 15-18 seeds. They want to have the championship Saturday night instead of Sunday afternoon now. Seems they can figure out a way to schedule things so the tournament could start on Monday, though, for the two play-in games so they can still have the final Saturday night. It just makes more sense to have all the teams play than what they are doing now.
 
The only way FSU beats Duke is if Boozer comes down with a mysterious illness or injury. I would sit entire 1st string if #1 seed was already locked up. Major Conference tournaments only mean something to teams who are on the bubble. Useless for others. Improving seeds is nothing but malarkey talk. You have to show up come NCAAT time and beat teams regardless. Who you have to play is mainly luck of the draw. One hot 8 seed or 12 seed and you are going home. JMHO

Agreed on much of that. Except the first line because FSU is playing really really well and we have to figure out a 7 man lineup.
But agree on the whole take about the tournaments now. I mean the committee said they just didn't matter much. Though I would use it, in our case, to feel out lineups with Foster and Pat out. Otherwise I wouldn't be pressing. Especially with Florida as a #1 seed there's little difference now in overall 1 and the others... Previously it was to avoid them as your 2.

I must be honest and say I haven't watched FSU play, but I doubt they have beaten anybody this year except a bunch of average to bad ACC teams. Hope you are right and they can make a game out of it. Maybe a ten OT game? ;)
 
I’m really disappointed that Duke did not hire a villain after Coach K. Scheyer is annoyingly likable. I know a lot of folks were annoyed about his comments about the court storming after the UNC game in Chapel Hill, but I figure it was heat of the moment stuff where he was frustrated and relaying secondhand information. Yes, it was goofy, but does not detract, in my opinion, from what a spectacular job he is doing as the coach at Duke. I sincerely believe that they are better coached than at any point over the final 10 to 12 years or so of the Coach K era. So far it seems like he is every bit the strategic and motivational mastermind that a young Coach K was.
