The Thursday of championship week tends to be when things start to get crazy, and yesterday was no exception. We saw one of the projected one seeds lose in their conference tournament opener. We saw IU come back from 17 points down to keep its tournament hopes alive. We saw another bubble team fall in the ACC as well as a couple overtime thrillers.
As I mentioned yesterday, it’s important to keep in mind that while these tournament games are exciting and make for compelling TV, they are just one game in the grand scheme of the season, which suggests they shouldn’t move teams dramatically up or down the seed list.
