1. Ivy League
you know what? We are beginning to believe that for decades we have overestimated the value of Ivy League education. This is entirely based on the fact that the meeting is holding a four-team tournament at a pre-determined on-campus location.
None of this works.
You can even return to the old 14-game tournament day by closing the field with a 4. Also, if you play games on campus sites, you have the advantage that it is at least a school won by the host school. Also, make sure that at least the host school is actually a participant in the tournament.
You confuse me. You spend all your money on these flashy meeting tournaments, you surround yourself, they are the wrong fuck-in-conference tournaments.
The No. 2 seed won this tournament for the fifth consecutive year. The first seed was the only time that went back to the first year of its existence in 2017. If that trend applies – 12-1 Yale has four games cleared from all the other teams in the meeting, that's an absolute shame.

Tired: I'm angry at the league for automatically completing the best team in the semi-finals of the tournament.
Wired: I'm angry at the league for leaving a part of the team completely out of the tournament at the bottom of the conference rankings.
I've come to the idea of protecting your best team and giving them the best shots to win league autobids… as long as you set up your tournament in the way that at least everyone gives shots. Isn't Southern Miss rarely stolen seven wins in seven days to win the Sun Belt? Of course, that's the price you pay to be the 12th best team in a 14-team league.
But at least you get the chance to play until you lose. That's the sport and this postseason should be there.
Conversely, Macs will completely shut down four bottom teams from the conference tournament from the 12-team league. They're not the only meetings doing this, but they're the league with the most consistently competitive lineup from top to bottom, and therefore the worst criminals.
Someone goes 8-10 on the conference play and is left behind from the league tournament. It's ridiculous and easy to avoid.
It's an extra day for a basketball day. No one is going to complain about it. grow up.
3. Big sky
This was previously due to the top two seeds winning the tournament for the seventh year in a row, and the first-place seed won 10 of the past 13 years. This is because Montana ran a great run as a fifth seed last year, beating the 3rd seed Montana to win the title.
Now this is about the fact that I'm not being sent out a “starch madness” shirt.
I want a starch mudness shirt.
Also, North Colorado vs Montana will be a great title game.
