They lost at George Washington during the 2015-16 season and still received a 1 seed in the Big Dance and advanced to the Elite 8. How many people cared that they lost to GW in November? A loss to VCU, Davidson, or Dayton early in the season is not going to hurt most of these “power” conference teams at all. A win might even be considered a “good win” in some years. And people love seeing the Big Boys take on the smaller non-power conference teams. In fact, that’s almost the entire reason the NCAA Tournament is so popular. Kudos and respect to Virginia for running what appears to be a classy and unafraid program. More schools should stop being cowards and follow Virginia’s quite successful model.

Virginia believes in playing the Virginia schools. They have a rotation with all the Va Schools. This is something OSU should follow.
