I liked it better when I could actually name most, if not all, of KY's starting lineup and could hate them for 3 or 4 years. I'd not be happy if TN was doing the same thing. It cheapens college basketball. Who wants to watch the NBA minor league? I'm not even that interested in the NBA anymore.
I am still not sure a NCAAT run is realistic, but the one positive we have going for us this year is that I am not sure the bubble will be very strong. I did a quick rundown of the current conference standings, and some of the "midmajor" conferences that annually produce multiple bids are not very strong, particularly the Atlantic 10, Mountain West, and even the American. No more than 2 tournament locks right now in each conference. That is going to open up more bids for power 5 teams in the middle of their conferences.
ok so I don't think the probability is very good, but if we make it through the Sec T and make it at least to the semis....would that be enough for a bubble team? I assume that any tournament winner is an automatic bid..is that correct?
