In response to SRP

Still unlikely that the Tigers will go 14-0 as there is much basketball left to be played. Brown could be a trap game although the Tigers have matched up well in the past. Several challenging games ahead and anything can happen in one game.

Your point about a team going 14-0 and then playing two games in 24 hours with the current format to get a NCAA bid is perfectly valid but there will be creative argument(s) to counter that --- what about an injury to a star player, etc. etc. Cannady made a comment in post-game that the Tigers would be in reasonably good shape for NCAA bid without the new format. There will be extra pressure on the Tigers to perform in the IL Tournament if they go 14-0.

During IL Tournament weekend, I plan on skiing and not watching a minute and wait on the other side to see if the Tigers play in the NCAA or NIT Tournament. Will look forward to their participation in either but most importantly, I hope that they close the deal on winning the IL regular season -- it has been a while.
