So true. In the tournament, sometimes you get unlucky, sometimes you play to seed, sometimes you lose a heartbreaker, sometimes you get blown out. And sometimes you make a run. You have to get there and get there often.
I think it is possible that if Buzz gets a few more years, if this class stays together, if we add a few more talented players, we might get to the tournament. I say might because that is going to become increasingly difficult in this conference, especially as long as so many mid-majors keep getting in, there are just fewer spots in the "power conferences." It also means that it will have taken Buzz 5-6 years to assemble a tournament team. It will certainly be the longest post-season absence in my years as a fan (sorry, I just go back to Odom). I think it is hard to argue that Buzz is an upgrade over Odom, Prosser, or Dino, take your pick.
