Fun Listen About Tournament Success

He is spot on and used two really good examples. I forgot that Beilein was still there for the Poole shot against Houston.

Which is why regular season success is the better metric and why I hate when people say only the tournament matters. The regular sseason is not meaningless simply because a huge segment of the idiot media decides to ignore college basketball before March.

I hear what you're saying. I do miss those 30 win seasons, heck, those 25 win seasons. However, I know I had a much better feeling after the 2016 final four season than the 2013-14 season when we started out 25-0. That loss to Dayton temporarily made me forget about that Ennis shot at Pitt. Can we have both, haha?

Exactly. I agree with all of what this guy is saying. If Kihei Clark doesn’t make that crazy pass against Purdue and a few other magic moments from Kyle Guy, Ty Jerome and Diakite, Tony Bennett is still a big fat March Madness loser. And Matt Painter has his first Final Four.

I had a better feeling after 2010 and 2012 and look back more fondly on those that 2016. 2014 felt like fools gold to me, so I don't see that the same. I could tell by the way we were winning that year we weren't quite as good as our record and the tournament was our regression back to the mean.
