I mean, who ever paid attention to Murray State? But they've got some guys with sweet skills
Potential transfers to WFU?

seriously, it would only happen to Wake that our best season in years and years meant the conference sucked (same thing we hear in football).
the SOS argument seems revisionist. I don't recall (but could be wrong) people clamoring for a much tougher schedule when it was announced. few people expected us to be in the position we were in, maybe an outside shot at the bubble. we needed wins to boost confidence, which is how we scheduled.
I may be wrong, as I haven't done any research, but I feel like Huggins absolutely loves the kids he coaches, and a select group of other coaches. Past that, he doesn't give a shit about anyone. Just the impression I've gotten over the years, so Huggins is a bit better to me than Calipari, who has been slime everywhere he has gone.
We beat Oregon State (KP #233) and Northwestern (#88) in OT and Charlotte (#205) on a buzzer-beater. VMI (#160) was also a tight game. Personally, I think if we'd played a tougher schedule, with even moderately-better teams subbed in for those, we would have lost two or more of those games and wouldn't have been in the bubble conversation to begin with. With the exception of the VPI game, we didn't really play well until January.

I’m just saying whether or not it’s revisionist, it’s factual now. If we had a chance to be a bubble team, we should have scheduled a bit better, but also we know we were trying to emerge from the abyss and understandably kept it lighter.
It being worse than we expected certainly wasn’t our fault. But my point is that in actual fact it was terrible, and the committee absolutely does not reward terrible strength of schedule. So from that angle I understand why there was at least debate about us, and why we weren’t a shoo-in.
I think it’s fair to say, with smart people at the helm, we will never be in this strength of schedule dilemma again. We may lose, but we will play harder teams from here on out and hopefully till the end of time.

Did Calipari awaken this morning to find out that Mayflower was parked on his front lawn?
I won't be pulling for Duke tonight, but I'd like to see the other ACC schools in the tournament win today. I am tired of hearing all year how awful the ACC is/was.
That was the year that Kentucky smoked us in the Southeastern Regionals in Charlotte.lol. pretty sure RattlerDeac and Milhouse (and maybe a couple of other people) put about 100 for sale signs in Dave Odom's yard one night around 1993. I don't recall the occasion

I was there. The first time Odom called a timeout I think the score was 28-6.
Kentucky and Western Kentucky made the finals. I sold my tickets.
When I left Charlotte it was snowing. Hence, I decided not to go to Kentucky and burglarize every house in the state, since no one was home.
