Conference standings should have higher weight

As I said, I think BYU is in regardless what happens in Vegas, but the tournament doesn't do the Cougars any favors.

Majerus hated the conference tournament and I agree with him, they are terrible for the season winner but help get some bubble teams in.

Although some BYU fans may complain, given how far we sunk, I'm just glad the team has a chance to make the dance with a reasonable chance to win its first Tourney game in a millenium.
