Playing a schedule weighted by an incredibly weak division during that period that no longer exists.

We did, which was only good for a 5 seed in the NCAA, and we got blown out in the first round.

Being one of the better teams in the SEC hasn't meant a whole lot historically nearly as often as it has for football. All time, per Wikipedia, we rank tied for 97th in NCAA tournament appearances and tied for 80th for tournament wins. That's better than many in the grand scheme of things (though keep in mind how diluted the bottom of the list is by those who weren't or haven't been in the running nearly as long), but not exactly what I'd call "very good" or worthy of high expectations year in and year out that some seem to believe we're entitled to.
