...or....we win our last 7 regular season games.  Then coming off a BET loss, even if it's early, can't shake our momentum as we go 7-1 or 8-1 going into the NCAAs.

As much as I love the BET and my wife and I have gone 3 times, it's got to be Hell on the teams that win with back-to-back games. I like the 8-1 scenario. It gives our team time to rest up and prepare for the NCAA. I would be cheering Marquette on to win the BET championship, but I think that it is not in the cards for us this year.

UCONN probably wishes they were more rested for last year's NCAA Tournament and had just taken an L in round 1 of the Big East Tournament.

Ha! Very true, it didn't hurt them too much now, did it? But this is a subject brought up every year with the various conferences-the champs have quite a workout and if they fall early in the NCAA, the conference championship tourney is sometimes the scapegoat.
