"Opening Round Game"...

[HawkeyeShane]

How can you have an "Opening Round Game" and a "First Round of The Tournament"??? Call it what it is! A "PLAY-IN GAME"...Not sure why I'm beating my head against the wall on this one...it IS from the people who brought us "The BCS", after all...

If you don't have to pick the game as part of a pool, then it doesn't exist.

EXACTLY! they're the University of "Penciled in After Tuesday"!

It's just an odd time to have another "Bracket Buster" game scheduled...

Why do they even need this game? Would anybody really care if Utah St. wasn't in the field?

I think he is referring to Utah St. being the last at large bid. So if there wasn't a play in game they would be out and the other conference tourney champs would take Utah State's spot.

Oh...I...uh...knew that...I was...uh...joking...YEAH! Joking! ahem...

On a side note...if Utah State IS the last at large, why in the hell aren't they in the Play-in game??? It makes even LESS sense after knowing that!

Utah St. is up 15-10.
