RF, 1st of all, I like you and I enjoy your posts so I'm certainly not looking to get into a pissing match here and I would venture to say you are not either. So... just wanted to clear the air on that. But...LOL !:rolleyes: for the sake of argument:

Let's be honest about the " self ban" last year. We were not on a trajectory to make the tournament AT ALL.  The fact that we self banned really was a strategic maneuver to curry favor with the NCAA rules committee than anything else.

And while we are being honest... this current year we weren't a lock for making the tournament by any stretch of the imagination. The hand wringing going on around here was for real. It wasn't just an isolated appendage tic from the Pollyanna club. Thankfully we did make the dance but we would have had difficulty these past 2 years even if we didn't have the NCAA seasonal door prize.

There can be no doubt that we are in a better position with respect to conference affiliation than Uconn. But I still do not think they are going to drift into obscurity and non relevance.
This coming year THEY HAVE THE NUMBER 5 RECRUITING CLASS. if that is characteristic of a team in decline... sign me up.

touche... your move. :D
