Hey! This turned out incorrect.

Now Maryland gets to hang a banner, first since 2010 and second since 2002. (I'm not sure if Maryland was strict on the whole "no ACC regular season championship" thing. Maybe it's a first.)
Great. 

Care to elaborate.

The ACC used to pretend the regular season champ wasn't a thing, even though most of the schools hung banners for them.  He's not sure which side of the fence Maryland is on.

Regular season >>> Tournament champ. 

I've always felt that way, since the money grab started 20+ years ago and Illinois had a chance to win it as the last(?) place team. Thanks to MSU, it didn't happen.

Yeah, it's just the difference between ACC and Big Ten.  ACC tournament used to be an event that shut the entire region down, and the only way into the tourney.  As you pointed out, the BTT was just a money grab in 1998.  I value winning it about on par with winning Maui.

I would be better to end it on Saturday. I am not a fan of a team playing so may games through Sunday and then possibly having to play early on Thursday.

Yeah, last year we needed rest more than anything.  Didn't play Winston a ton against OSU, and Foster Loyer went nuts and had a career game.  Then Wisconsin played as bad a game as I've seen them play in a meaningful spot in a while against us in the semis.  Then, once you're playing in the championship, might as well win it.  If (a) Loyer hadn't had a career game Friday or (b) Wisconsin had brought like even a B game on Saturday, no way MSU wins it last year.

I take it back.  Granted Liberty is the worst for a whole number of reasons, but they trump Oregon fans, by chanting over rated at 3 seeded Lipscomb.

This is some ugly three point shooting.  Teams are a combined 5-20, and two of MSUs were flat luck bank threes.  And some of the misses have been UGLY

Difference in the game are those janky threes. Both teams playing with a lot of energy - getting up and down and playing defense. Not many open shots

I get that. Regular season meant a good bit, but not as much as the tournament. Home court was always an expected advantage.

I'd rather win it outright. I don't necessarily believe it's fair when you share with a team you only played once on their floor, so yeah, it's disappointing from that standpoint.

That's the problem we have with Turgeon. He thinks the 300lb gorilla is off of his back, but it's not.

All that talent, you'd think you could win more.

Did they call timeout just to set up an Ahrens on Ahrens possession? Pretty cool
