Bracketology 3/5/21

As we approach the last weekend of regular season games, beware of the commentator hyperbole. Commentators are likely to say "This win gets them in" or "This game determines their tournament fates".

The reality is, the majority of the seeding is done. Yes, these last games are important, but the games now are equal in value to the games in November. It's not like a final exam where they're worth 25% of your grade, think more of a last set of homework worth between 5-10%. They matter, but won't completely revamp a resume.
