Is it possible that a team improved in Year 4? That a program that won 0 games 4 years ago had a learning curve. They weren't great in the beginnnnig of the year. They got better. So did the coach. Progression. It takes a minute to build a winning culture when you have been getting your ass kicked repeatedly.

I'm OK with not making the dance. 12 SEC wins is huge. Nice progression.

1 Clemson
Morehead State

4 UAB
Southern Miss

3 Vanderbilt
Yale

2 Michigan
Toledo

Turns down NIT

Nerd schools something something hurhurhur

LET'S GO BLOW THEM OUT

We are a 3 seed and play Yale. Not a pushover.

Vandy is a 3 seed.

Game is Tue at 8:00 central

or at least get to NO. (Not being at MSG doesn't seem right.)

Utter horseshit

You should schedule nothing but cupcakes and win every game by as much as possible. Try to humiliate them. Play the starters the whole game. Then go .500 in conference.


Oh well. Great run. Beating the Cats twice and the Vols was fun as shit.

Next years schedule should consist of one preseason tourney with decent comp, one marginal opponent from a non power 5 league & what’s left of the OVC & try to beat them by 30.

Pretty ironic the NCAA has created an algorithm that does the opposite of what they wanted you to do for years to make the tourney (schedule a tough OOC slate and win a few of them).

Having UNC ahead of us and not even being in the last 4 out is blowing my mind.

VU’s only shot was the automatic bid?

Yes, it is Stack’s fault that he didn’t have his guys ready to play and playing the right guys until February. That’s squarely on him and no one else. It can also be a horrible decision to leave them out of this tournament with other teams that are ahead of them. I don’t think it’s fair to blame only one side. One thing is certain, it’s NCAAT or out next year.

13s: Kent St., Kennesaw St., Louisiana, Iona
14s: UCSB, Furman, Grand Canyon, Princeton

Totally piss off Stackhouse to really set his sights on winning more through recruiting.

I think there will be less monkeying with the lineup next year .....but it's just awful seeing all these teams that we would destroy and teams we beat with similar records getting in....

Sucks....

In no particular order:

Vanderbilt
Wisconsin
Arizona St
NC State
Mississippi State
Pitt
Clemson
Rutgers
Nevada
Oklahoma St

Just my opinion, if you want to add a surprise team or two that "may" be in mix of being out or in, Providence has a pretty weak resume and I almost put them in the above list (the more I look I really should put 6 of 11 and add Providence), and as I've said North Texas has a very sneaky decent resume, especially considering they have a very high NET of 38 and committee is majority small conference AD's. Committee has put in a team no one thought before (Tulsa comes to mind) and if that happens this year, it to me looks to be North Texas.

Well it’s all about predictive metrics. Who you play and how you do against them obviously doesn’t matter anymore. And as said most decisions were made before conference tournaments.

No way UNC and Clemson should have been ahead of VU.

Not even a 1 seed in NIT. Very surprised by that.

Just saw a clip where Lamenardi declared us out because we lost to TEMPLE, LOYAL-CHICAGO and SMU.

Sweet Lord what idiocy. Do your freaking homework

Just curious.
