I didn't use FAU as an example because their seed was so good, they likely would have gotten in regardless if they won the conference tournament or not (probably in the First Four, but still). WKU was more in the range we'd be if we won the conference tourney.
Practice time for players graduating and/or transferring out? Cool.
Why do you say we'd get clobbered? If we won the AAC, I'd imagine we'd be a 12 seed. Lunardi has the current 5 seeds as Oregon, Missouri, BYU, and Arizona. Oregon beat Oregon State by 3, Missouri lost to Memphis by 8, and BYU and Arizona both have some bad conference losses if I'm not mistaken. We can beat them.
I wouldn't call the super pit a huge pile of steaming dung. But its certainly starting to resemble fecal matter. But its depressing to see High Point dominating the arms race vs the likes of UNT and half the AAC. And it's not just HPU. It's all over the country.
Shoot, just go back to FAU two seasons ago. They beat Memphis in that 8/9 match-up, then got #16 Fairleigh Dickinson. Granted, FDU played very tough but the Sweet 16 was relatively easy in that round of 32 match-up.
A year ago I was talking to a guy about college sports. I brought up my loyalty to the Mean Green and he brought up our upset over Purdue 3 years prior. I've never had anybody bring up the NIT win but many remember the Purdue win even if they're not UNT fans.
