So many on here thought we were 50/50 to make the tournament.  Some thought we were completely out of it.  Regardless of how you look at it, we did not do enough in the regular season to feel like we were a lock.  But we got in, end of story thats all that matters.

As for the idea that our success should change Doug's view is kind of insane.  If you didn't think we belonged on selection sunday, no level of success should change that view.  He isn't saying we couldn't play well or compete, he is saying he didn't think our regular season resume was enough to warrant an at large bid.  To change that view would be completely disingenuous and quite frankly it would mean he was flip flopping, which you would hope is a worse offense than sticking with your original position.  I know Doug plays into it, but the reason this conversation continues is because people cant come to grips with the fact that his belief that they didn't earn a spot and their performance have zero to do with each other.

And this is from a guy who cannot stand Doug
