Message: [QUOTE="jncuse, post: 1621196, member: 1969"] That team was 20-6 after that slumo and 7-6 in a loaded conference. They were almost a clear in even if they were sliding hard. Remember that an 8-10 record in the regular season would have got them in. The Storrs Thieves were 9-9 and got a 3 seed that year. I am not sure if this is the year Nova took the massive slide down the stretch but still got in as well. Michigan/Michigan St wins were not much different than Texas AM / UConn, with no blemishes like St. John's (and of course 0-2 agaisnt G'Town and Wisconsin) Overall, I just don't see the comparison - they were in really good shape after 26 games and we clearly will not be after 26 games. Not to say we don't have a chance to make it (the season is more than 26 games)-- but if we make in we will be fighting and scratching right down to the end. [/QUOTE]
