Message: [QUOTE="RF2044, post: 1968738, member: 40"] You can't say that with any assurity about 2015 -- the team beat Louisville down the stretch, who was a top 10 team, and the psychological factor of not being eligible may have factored into how the end of the season played out. We also had a very key injury that hurt us that year. But to the bigger point, you are stating an opinion as fact when in fact we never know how things would have worked out. Or how things would have worked out if McCullough hadn't torn his ACL and played more than 10 games. Last year, we WEREN'T going to the NIT, despite what the ostensible sports experts in the media, like that jackass Lunardi, predicted. We were safely in, as evidenced by our seeding. And again, a peripheral circumstance--this time, JB getting suspended for 9 games--had a big impact on us being anywhere NEAR the bubble. [/QUOTE]
