Regular season meaningless? That is absurd! The regular season champion gets an automatic bid. Furthermore, if the conference tournament is not at your home floor, it is more important to put yourself in a position to get in before the tournament.

Is it fair? No. But was it fair when OU had to play Syracuse in New York in the regional finals in 2003? What about when UCLA has to play Tulsa in Oklahoma City in the first round of the NCAA tournament in 1994?

These things happen. Take care of business in the regular season when everything is fair and you still go to the national tournament. If you put yourself in the position where you have to win the conference tournament, you have no one to blame but yourself.

What does it mean, this 'off the reservation' thing? Sounds slimey to me.

But to the point. The regular season is what it is. We award a runner-up in the tournament because we hope that the No. 2 and 3 teams have already locked up a place in KC or Jackson because of how they did in the regular season.

Murples, we're running this show and we've gotten more teams in there than anyone else since we've gone to our format.
