I'm not one to believe in superstitions or anything, but last year 7/8 Elite Eight teams won their conference tourny. I think momentum counts for something, so why not go out and win? There is the one percent chance of injury, but "playing not to get hurt" is usually when injuries do happen. I do agree that the tournement is scheduled stupidly, hopefully we get Minny in the final so it will have to count
