Back to the idea that the regular season doesn't matter...

This comment is sort of illogical, mainly because you aren't suggesting anything to solve what you consider the problem. Are you saying the 64-team tournament format should be altered, or what? I don't understand.

The way things are now, it's pretty simple. The regular season is just as important as in any other sport, really. It gives small schools the opportunity to build their resumes with upsets and makes it possible for small conferences to compete on a similar scale to the larger ones.

The regular season may not matter to Duke and Kansas, but try saying the regular season doesn't matter to Tennessee-Chattanooga or Western Kentucky. That's why the regular season is so vital. It allows these small universities to battle for conference titles, and scratch and claw for conference tournament seeding.

To say that an entire season doesn't matter, I just don't get it.

Wake Forrest versus Illinois doesn't matter? North Carolina and Kentucky this weekend doesn't matter?

Just doesn't add up one bit.
