No, my example perfectly highlights the importance certain fanbases place on conference performance in the tournament. I don't really care what you think of it.If said conference is touted as the best the entire year, and gets 10-12 teams in, and all fail to make the final four.. I would consider that a failure. This isn't too difficult of a concept. Also, your examples are completely off-base and make you sound silly.
Second, again, I will try this one more time, who cares that it is a failure if the SEC doesn't get a team in the FF. Who cares??
Why does it matter so much to you? How does it help UL?
I care about UKs performance in the tournament, not whether or not the ACC gets a team in the FF because they will say "See, our conference is tough." Who cares? I know who does...ppl like you who want to "conference honk."
