[QUOTE="I11ini82, post: 1595876, member: 747716"] Minnesota was never even a single digit seed under Tubby (10,11,11). Pitino had one of his most promising seasons wiped out by injuries and off the court issues out of his control. Was he a great coach? Obviously not. But he got Minnesota a 5 seed in 2017. That was their 3rd highest seed ever, and 2nd highest if you take away the vacated 1 seed in 1997. So, essentially, Pitino got them their highest NCAA tournament seed since 1992, when they were a 2 seed. I'm not trying to defend Pitino - just pointing out the Minnesota isn't exactly a dream job for many people. There's a reason Illinois beat them like 20 straight times or whatever it was in the 2000s. [/QUOTE]
