Much has been said about our elimination from the tourny if we lose Ark and Mich...
Last year:
Top 4 OOC foes: Virginia (L) Ark (L) Texas A&M (3 pt W) and Wyoming or TCU. All unranked at the time.
This year:
Top 4 OOC foes: 13 Gonzaga (L) 20 Mich (TBD) 25 Ark (TBD) and 6 vote IU (L).
Losing to those four (heaven forbid), especially with the absence of MK, still gives a far better tourny resume than last year. If we beat UCONN, Memphis, and Cincy at home and take care of business against lesser foes... that is a 7 loss season. That is tourny worthy.
I have made hasty comments (I get a little bit pissed off when we lose!!!) But that resume is much stronger than last years team whom lost to Temple, USF, and Houston.
