In recent years it hasn't appeared the NCAA gives much weight to seedings based on conference tournaments. As of now, it appears we're a solid 4 seed. Losing in the first round probably drops us to a 5 which is pretty insignificant. Going 1-1 keeps us as a 4. Winning the tourney would probably only raise us to a 3 seed. That's not enough upside for me to see Evan log many minutes. Our main goal this weekend should be to get healthy and a few more minutes for Zach. Our future depends to a great extent on Evan's toe and I'm wondering what 12 days of rest would do for him. Sitting him is not like throwing in the towel because our team is capable of winning a couple without him. In fact, winning a couple of games without Evans would probably enhance our perception with the committee even more. I know Beard would love to win it but will he play it safe with Keenan?
