Honestly, we are going to figure how meaningless conference records and titles are in basketball. All that matters is what you do in March.

I disagree.  Conference titles are big.

Saul is right on this one.  Its the dance that matters.  The conference games are only foreplay.

my point is they go hand/hand. If you are winning in the conference, it usually means you will have success in the tournament. so both are good benchmarks.

Yeah, and you can't jump of a bridge if you're a 2 seed that loses to a 7 seed.  Conference record is a much better indicator of how good you really are...the tournament is a crapshoot.

not being 6-10 is fricking huge.

winning 10 conference games, and knowing that we're just getting better, is frickin huge.
