One of my big criticisms of JB a few years ago was that we were almost always 'pretty good' but rarely VERY good.  In a 17 year stretch from 91-08 we were above a 4 seed exactly once - a 3 seed in the NC year of 2003.  
 
Well...assuming a 1 seed this year we will have put together a 4 year stretch were we have had 2 one seeds and haven't been WORSE than a 3 seed.  That is quite a run.  An Elite program kind of run.  Now, of course, we  have yet to make it count.  But I'm a firm believer that the key to winning championships is being there over and over, year in year out..  Look at Coach K, Dean Smith, and Roy Williams - for years they 'couldn't win the big one'.   But...they kept putting highly seeded teams out there and eventually it happened, and it happened multiple times.  We caught lightning in a bottle in 2003, but really I think it is just now that we are back to where we were as a program in the 86-91 era.  And one of these years it's going to pay off in March.
