regular season. But for all the hype, is going undefeated in college basketball, in the regular season, really matter in the long run? Does it have meaning in regards to what happens on the court or does it just become a piece of statistical trivia that comes up every few years on Sportscenter? To be honest, I think it means very little.
Now don't get me wrong, winning 31 games and not losing is far from insignificant. It takes a combination of skill and luck that very rarely comes together. It's not like in college football where all you need is two or three key players to go beast mode for three months to achieve the perfect season.the feat is so rare that this is only the fifth time in past 35 years that it's happened.
But that is where the perfect season loses it's luster. Of the four previous times, only Larry Bird and the '78-'79 Indiana State Sycamores have even reached the national title game. This is why, in the end, even if the Shockers can breeze through the MVC Tourney and lock up a one seed, their perfect regular season will likely end up being meaningless.
