[QUOTE="HeartofaChampion, post: 1182217, member: 3074"] :confused: Who said anything about a first-round loss? A first-round loss in the NCAA tournament is much better than your stated definition of postseason success, which you wrote was getting to the NIT. Getting to the NIT should never be considered a sign of success for UI. In the 80s, 90s and 2000s, UI made the Dance eight times in the 80s, six times in the 90s and nine times in the 2000s. Of those 23 trips in 30 years (nearly 80 percent of its seasons in the Dance), UI made at least the second round 16 times and at least the Sweet 16 eight times. That should be UI's benchmark for postseason success going forward, not being satisfied with 2-3 NIT trips for every one trip to the Dance. [/QUOTE]
