This won't be the first year they lose in the first round. At least this team will deserve to do so. Speaking of Arizona, I can’t believe Arizona even made the tournament this year.

Why are those games more important than the regular season games against the same opponent? Reader Jeff J is right. many of the teams already in the tournament tank. Arizona under Lute Olson is an example where the coach liberally used his bench so that his team would be primed for the NCAA run. It is especially ludicrous in the Pac 10, where everyone plays a balanced home and home schedule with everyone else. What is there left to prove?

The teams that are already in the big dance don't want waste their energy playing 3 conference games, so they drop one. It shouldn't affect their standing in the seedings.
