Message: [QUOTE="NineOneSeven, post: 2938045, member: 871"] Yeah, I never said that. Simple math suggests the more often you have good regular season teams and higher seeds, the more chances you have to lose to inferior teams in the tournament. Hell, SU was losing to a 16 seed in 2012 at half time. And I get your point about "horrible". It's relative to the program's expectations and history, obviously. What you said is true about postseason vs regular season success. In the relative short term, we've done better. Over the long term, the odds of having successful postseasons is probably much more correlated to successful regular seasons. The r^2 is not equal to 1- nothing is perfect here, especially when the tournament is a bunch of single games- but it's historically a good indicator/correlation. [/QUOTE]
