We have one day to go before the beginning of March. Amid all the excitement, teams are nailing down their tournament resumes, and several teams are trying to solidify weak resumes at the right time.
As teams play their final games, it's important to note that all games are created equal. The games in March are worth the same amount as the games in November, and it's impossible to expunge losses from early in the season. Now teams can still add the huge wins to make things easier (just ask Georgia), but ultimately, teams are adding only about 10-15% to their resumes in this month. Most everything is settled.
So when a commentator yells after a game 'Team A has punched their ticket!", take it with a grain of salt. Unless it's a conference championship game.
