Easy fix. 3 game series until you get to the Final four, then 5 game series in the semi games, then 7 game series in the final!!!
See everyone is July!
In all seriousness, maybe doing a 3 game series once it reaches the final four wouldn't be a bad thing (probably not practical though). Any team can have an off night.....look no further than the 1988 NC game. OU was the best team that year...and no one is going to argue that point. We beat them 8-9 times out of 10!!!! But unfortunately, that 1 time came on the wrong night. I admit it....I cried after that game. I was 16 years old...and followed OU b-ball religiously since the Wayman days. Back then, not all games were on TV like today. Several were...but I listened to all the others on the radio....NEVER missed one!
I even remember setting my alarm clock for a game where we played Michigan in the Maui tournament or somewhere. I believe it was the 1988 or '89 season....and we played at like 2a.m. Okla time. I don't believe it was on TV...if it was, I didn't have that channel, but I listened to the whole game on the radio. We had just beat UNLV, but ended up losing to Mich. I think that team had Glen Rice, Rumeal Robinson, Loy Vaught, Sean Higgins, Terry Mills on it if I'm not mistaken. They were loaded...and the next season is when Mich won the NC. We had King and Blaylock back...but had to replace Harvey Grant, Sieger and Ricky Grace...so we were still finding ourselves. Terry Evans was a freshman, Skeeter Henry and Williams "Cheese" Davis were new juco transfers that ended up being great later that year. Good times in those days!!!!
