Message: [QUOTE="Ghost, post: 4219042, member: 581"] Yeah, I agree with everything you said. Way back when the Big East had the best conference record followed by a poor performance in the NCAAT it never convinced anyone that the Big East actually sucked that specific year. It's just how the tourney goes. Same on an individual level. In our great seasons, if we lose early, it doesn't invalidate how good we were. Same in the years we were bad - a decent tourney run doesn't necessarily mean we were better than we thought. It's all part of the fun of the tourney, the randomness of it all. How many games are decided in the last minute? That result shouldn't cause some seismic shift in anyone's opinion of how good/bad a team or conference is. In any given tourney there is probably some P5 bottom feeder that could get some beneficial match-ups and roll themselves into the S16 or E8. It doesn't mean they "belong" or were underrated. [/QUOTE]
