Logically, I would want to think the autobid would go to the REGULAR
season champ, having proved itself over many games, rather than a
end-of-season tourney champ who wins 4 or 5 games, but then again, what
has logic had to do with a lot of NCAA decisions?

Hope you are all having a good summer. Waiting for the puck to drop and
for San Jose to win a NCAA tourney hosting bid.
