No, by your logic Gable/Kerk would have made the event look really bad because Wyatt later beat them both and OToole/Haines would mean the October event is lessened because Hamiti beat them both in March.
If Max McEnelly had won NCAAs this year it wouldn't have made the All Star Classic "look bad" because they had Parker vs. Carter. It's still a great event with great competition. That doesn't change because of what happens later in the year.
Disagree. Different events. Different parts of the season. The All Star Classic is a great event in October. It isn't diminished by the fact that most of the winners didn't win the titles in March.
How a team performs later in the season doesn't impact the quality of a point-in-time event.
For the event to succeed, fans need to show up, tune in, and have a good time.
Their sophomore years (most recent) Jamison scored 5.5 tournament points and Swiderski scored 7.5, but Jamison had a tougher path. Jamison's best wins are better. Overall they're pretty similar results wise.
