I also take exception to the idea that playing four games in four nights will affect the team's play next week. Eight out of the last 10 national champions played in their conference tourney's championship games. The positives taken from defeating conference foes in a one-and-done contest far outweigh the negatives, IMO.
Although, next week is final's week at Stanford, right? I think Lou Holtz would agree that exams make a much better excuse for why athletes are worn down [NB: this is a cryptic reference written with good-natured sarcasm].

If there's one thing people have learned in Berkeley, it's that you can't put "Cal football" and "Rose Bowl" in the same sentence. The words just don't fit. You'd be better off linking "covered wagons" with "Mars travel." (Bruce Jenkins, Cal '70, SF Chronicle, Nov. 11, 2017)
