Quick question, why was the PAC-12 tournament a week before selection day, and almost two weeks before the first tournament game is to be played.  Don’t get me wrong, I think it’s probably a good thing to get some rest, but give all the extra time, it seems that the compressed end of year PAC-12 schedule might have been unnecessary.  To wit, we played 2/17, 2/20, 2/23, 2/25, 3/2, 3/3, and, had we won, would have played 3/4, which would have been 7 games in 16 days.  We have since not played any games since and the first game of the tournament is 3/17.  Could we really not have played the pac-12 tournament Friday/Saturday/Sunday or Saturday/Sunday/Monday?

I’m going to guess that the answer is “TV”, but I am sick of the conference putting TV considerations ahead of the athletes welfare or academics.
