Message: [QUOTE="TinyManInside, post: 2194674, member: 1251"] Yeah, ummmm... no. There is no school in the NCAA that has achieved sustained success with this sort of model. The pathway to F4 appearances historically has been through having dominant regular seasons and securing a 1 or 2 seed in the tournament. If you look at the historical stats they are heavily weighed towards 1 and 2 seeds. If you go to the NIT 2 out of every 3 years, your recruiting is going to go straight into the tank, making a F4 every 3rd year extremely unlikely. It's not a sustainable model for tournament success. SU is the ONLY team in NCAA tournament history to make 2 F4 appearances in a four year stretch while posting 10+ losses in each of those years. It's a complete aberration. [/QUOTE]
