Safe to say, dropping a couple of seeds due to a Conference final loss almost GUARANTEES BYU a Big Dance first-round loss.

And this is where it comes full circle. Ultimately it rests on BYU to take care of business wherever they are. As I've said before, I'd love to see regular season and tourney champs invited, and holding the tourney in the T&M is grossly unfair, and I don't care how MWC "officials" change the arena, it's still rediculous. But when it comes down to it, BYU hasn't been able to perform come tourney time. I hope Coach Rose is fixing that, but the Cougs just haven't been a postseason team. I'll be the first to agree that a favorable seeding only helps, but you still have to be able to perform on the big stage. If we can't beat UNLV at home we can't complain too hard. We should have taken care of Xavier last year and had a shot at the eventual #2, who I think we could have played with, by the way. Anyway, like I said, it all comes down to the fact that the postseason has not been good to us, and this discussion would be pointless if we would show up in Vegas and more importantly in March Madness.
