I've said for awhile now that wins in conference tournaments hasn't carried much weight in my lifetime of following college hoops, as far as moving onto or off of the bubble. Most of you just say that ole Woody is just being negative again.
Well, today on the Greg Pogue show, Vanderbilt alumn, former N.C.State AD, and former NCAA Tournament selection committee member Lee Fowler was on from 10:30 to 10: 40 or so.
One of the talking heads on Pogues show point blank asked Fowler if a win or two would get Vanderbilt into the dance. Fowler's response was basically " the committee basically has their minds made up on all but a few bids". In his time on the committee, "they put little stock into conference tournament wins."
Again, we had a great run in February, and it was fun. But, it was basically to little to late for us to get to the dance. Barring a miracle run without Robbins to get to Sunday, I think we are NIT bound.
The good news looks to be that maybe Stack has figured out how to run a college program.
Fowler also said that he really likes Stack as a person, and thinks that he has the program heading in the right direction. He also really likes the young players.
