[QUOTE="Chieeeeffffff, post: 1615941, member: 748130"] This 100 percent. The pain of the loss is magnified and distorted (exponentially in my view) by the fact we’ve been completely irrelevant for at least the last eight years (depending on when you decide we truly became irrelevant; for me it is somewhere at the end of the Weber years). It’s about being able to ante up and have a seat at the table year in and year out with decent seeding (and let’s not forget in future years the tournament will resume its protection of top seeds by letting them play close to home). Personally, I think Underwood is accomplishing that as opposed to having one great team. We would have been a 6ish seed last year, were a one this year, and I would be surprised if we weren’t a top 7 seed next year (with a ceiling as high as Kofi). [/QUOTE]
