I am not sure they have to win the conference. That Purdue win could get them in assuming they are around the top of their conference

I didn't look at their schedule, can't believe they beat Purdue.
I was not in the fire Stans crowd, so it would be interesting to see how the board would react to Stans making the tourney in year 2 at WKU while we are in year 6 of a rebuild. I'm sure most people would be happy for Stans............................................. .................................................. ..........
It's easier to make the NCAA tourney in whatever shit conference that WKU is in as opposed to the SEC? Really? So if Stans makes the NCAA it will be because he took the easy road to the NCAA by taking WKU to the tourney possibly? I guess I can understand that logic if he just wins the tourney, but if he gets an at large bid, then that argument goes out the window.
At large worthy is a narrow, narrow window in a mid-major conference. They have had 3 appearances since Horn left in ?09. That?s 3 more than we?ve had. It?s not like Stands inherited a rebuild either, although they were short handed due to 3 players being kicked out of school (which resulted in Ray Harper resigning). Harper took Jax St to the NCAAs in his first year last year, turning around a team that went 8-23 the year before. Should win the OVC this year sitting at 15-6.
never--shit I thought We won the SEC and didn't lose a road game--Plus He won the Tourney. Excuse me on Tn. he just played who was on His Schedule . Our Football team and baseball team only play some teams every so often. Our football team plays Ga-Fla-Tn once in a blue moon. So why are you picking on basketball? Oh I know,it is what you do. It looks like we were as good as TN at least 6 times.
All I know is that you can pick any consecutive five year term during Stans' tenure and you are going to find two trips to the NCAA tourney in those five years. He was a good coach. I wish we still had his level of success here, I don't want him back, but I would love to have his results back.
Stansbury won more SEC Championships in his last 10 years than any other SEC program except Kentucky 12. Mississippi State 8. (Florida 6) Western Conference Champion: 2003, 2004, 2007, 2008, 2010. SEC Tournament Champion: 2002, 2009. Overall SEC Champion: 2004. Under the leadership of Stansbury, MSU's teams were always a threat in the SEC Tournament, reaching the finals of the tournament four times, winning twice. His SEC Tournament record is 16-12. 6
Kind of speaks for itself.
