The issue of attention isn't about the fans of the top contenders--of course they're excited about winning, especially when there's been a drought. It's the conversation and coverage around and outside the league that's the problem. Sportscenter didn't even mention the game, as they used to do pre-folly for similar showdowns. Commentators fill dead time spooling out endless scenarios about how the poor-record teams might sneak in, but no time debating whether Harvard is better than Penn. Don't be surprised if Matt Morgan and Desmond Cambridge get more publicity and discussion over the remainder of the season than Towns or Brodeur.
