[QUOTE="FredJacket, post: 581553, member: 2843"] There are 12 games in pool play for this format. It will always produces 4 (& exactly 4) pool games that have no bearing on who advances to the semi-finals on Sat. That means it will have exactly 8 games that do have bearing. If all 3 Friday happen to in the former category that would be a statistical anomaly; but would mean 8 (of 9) games in the 1st 3 days of the tournament do factor into who advances. I intentionally avoid the words "meaningless" or "useless" ...but I get why others use them. My reason is those games will matter to teams like FSU & Clemson (who are already part of such games)....they could factor significantly into their regional slots... & in some cases for actually getting a bid at all. Bringing it to Ga Tech. Let's say DUKE wins tonight. Is Tech's game v ND tomorrow meaningless? I say no... we need all the W's we can get. This applies to at least 10 teams in this tournament.
