Look, we all have a different perspective on the sport, tinted by our own experience and the team we cheer for. I have covered this ground several times on here. My PERSONAL feelings on the conference tourney are shaped by the fact that Kansas has never in my lifetime needed a conference tourney win to get selected into the tourney field. Frankly, I think it just wears the guys out more than anything and exists primarily as a conference money grab. However, I understand why other people value it more than I do. I have made no attempt to say that anyone that values it MORE than I do is wrong so why are you trying to tell me that my opinion "is ********?" You think it's more important than I do. No problem. That's what it is to you.
