National media perception of men's basketball team...........

Win and we are definitely in. I still think we would squeak in with a lost, but I sure wouldn't guarantee it. Precarius.

ETA if we don't start playing better none of it really matters because we'll be done shortly.

I think it's fair to say we should be better than on the bubble, but to downplay making the tourney is dumb to me. Us making the tourney is still a big deal... we've made it 13 times in our history

12 times. And the Head Coach everyone loves to hate took us 6 of those 12. In 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2008, 2009. And got us to the Round of 32 on 4 of those years.

Lemonis won a NC with about 4 other coaches' players. Jans got in last year with Howland's recruits as the play in game. This year only 1 of the 7 players he brought in was a contributor, Hubbard, who fell in our lap when OM fired Kermit. This year we played virtually Howland's guys again and a game changer, Hubbard, with about the same result if we get in. If Jans can't evaluate, recruit, be successful in the portal & coach offense next year could be rough. There is a reason we had so many 5th year type players. Some are a year older, not a year better. Time will tell.
