Message: [QUOTE="sufandu, post: 5745936, member: 874"] Immediately after 2003 we may not have been the best non-blue blood program yet, but by 2012 we were. 2003 started it or maybe restarted it. It probably takes more than one really good year to get to 2nd tier status. In 2002 we didn't make the tournament, and between 1996 and 2003 we never made past the sweet 16 or finished the regular season higher than 15 in the AP poll. Actually, we hadn't finished higher than 15 or had a top 2 seed since 1991. Really, even after 2003 we had a few hiccups before getting rolling again for a few years. [/QUOTE]
