Sooner or later people are going to realize how meaningless an accomplishment this was.
I guess? Shows the team was pretty good over the course of a season vs getting hot in the conference tournament.
Agreed - that's kind of my point. Being the best regular season team in a very mid conference isn't something to be lauded as excellence, especially when the goal is to win the tournament.
0-2 in the SBC Tournament the past 2 years says otherwise, but I'd love to see it happen. More to win it than play spoiler, but really I'd just like to see a tournament win for the good guys.
I hope they do better without the pressure.
Meaningless is overboard. It's not meaningless - winning a lot is never meaningless. It's that it's not the goal, and not even a necessary milepost to reaching the true goal.
Agreed so you would think that if you are actually a decent team in a not-very-good league you would punch the auto-bid ticket every 4-5 years, just my 2pennies. 14-team league makes it tougher I guess sure but in a league that finishes very few sub-100 net ranked teams it shouldn't be that unreasonable of an ask.
So youre saying there's a chanceee
I’ve griped about this before on this board about how there is too much of an emphasis on end of the season conference tourneys and how they decide who gets to go to the NCAA tournaments. It’s almost as if the long, grueling season means absolutely nothing. Being regular season conference champions is nice and all, but ultimately what does it matter if you don’t get to go to the big dance? Selecting NCAA tournament teams based on conference tournament champs probably weakens the tournament overall, at least for the lower seeded teams.
