Go Blue!
Go Blue!
I actually agree with the OP. I want to win more for beating State 3 times than for a 1 seed.
if someone asked me what I would rather have - a loss today and a 1 seed or a win today and a 2 seed, I'd take the latter all week and twice on Sundays.
BEAT STAEE!!!
It was very clever of them to bump the post from 2009 (last outright title for them) and hope that everyone would ignore the date on the post, unless that's not how they did this, of course. If you need the conference tournament to make it seem as if you won the conference, then professional help to cope with this problem might be the next step.

I want to see this team beat staee for a 3rd time so fucking bad I can taste it.

I still remember Izzo sending out Jason Richardson to get an alley oop dunk on us up 50 points. Just for that reason alone I have a burning need for us to beat them in perpetuity.
Unfortunately I don't think it will happen because I just don't think the team has the ferocious need to beat State as much as they other way around. If we don't match their energy in the beginning we won't be able to come back and beat them.
insert state. replace lid. go to NCAA's with big smile.
I agree but will still be rooting for the good guys; hate to lose to Staee, even if it doesnt mean much to us
Going into the league tournament we were generally projected to be no better than a 2, but based on our two victories we appear to be very close to getting a 1. So "pointless" is overstating things a bit.
That being said, I agree with your basic sentiment; the league tourney pales in importance next to the real thing.
