Message: [QUOTE="sufandu, post: 2955034, member: 874"] You're right. In a given year the two don't correlate. That's not what I was saying. If you look at the teams that regularly compete for regular season and conference tournament championships, those are the teams that more frequently are in the running for national championships. They also get more recognition by from the media (remember when Hakim Warrick was a regular on sportcenter's top 10) and attention from recruits. It's not hard to explain why either. They're better teams. I want syracuse to be that again. There is this implied idea on this board that being better in the regular season or conference tournament would prevent us from being as good in the NCAA tournament or that regular season success has no bearing on post season success. It's nothing more than a fabrication to make people feel better about our recent lack of regular season success. [/QUOTE]
