Message: [QUOTE="RF2044, post: 1695046, member: 40"] Sure, it's different from an objective perspective. We faced NCAA sanctions and self-imposed a ban last year. This year, we made the NCAA tournament quite comfortably based upon our seeding, despite some of the hand wringing on our board. And that's after finishing the season losing 5 of 6, and losing in the first round of the ACC tournament. Further comparison of the playing field: an ACC team losing in the first round of the ACC tournament can still qualify for the tournament. A team that made the AAC conference championship game last year but lost didn't make the NCAA tournament, and wouldn't have made it again this year without an 80 foot shot that prevented them from losing in the first round of the AAC tournament. Seems like a pretty clear divide to me. [/QUOTE]
