But you guys are right, if he was still coach here maybe we would have been that 11 seed for the 10th year in a row praying to make it out the round of 64. He is definitely consistent in mediocrity.

Better than the dumpster fire/shitshow here

making the tournament every year is far from mediocrity

Could you imagine if 10 of our players were top 100 and we were only in the play in game.

Anyway, I agree UCLA is the better program. Ya got me there.

Ok, is 1 sweet 16 in 13 years or all of the tourney appearances he’s made mediocrity?

Making the tournament every year and doing absolutely nothing in it is the definition of mediocrity in my opinion. Obviously some people think that’s a bigger deal than I do. That’s fine

I honestly think most teams in a decent conference could make the tournament if that was their only goal. Schedule easy, get as many wins as possible, win 1-2 games against good teams. Wichita this year. You can’t be complete trash obviously

Yes, if the goal is just to get in and be happy, this is a great plan. You'll get a 7-11 seed and be home after a game or two.

If the goal is to get a top 4 seed, this is not the way to do it.

Against a hall of fame coach and a team from the best league in basketball. He still won, eat your words lol

I really think this was this was cronin’s plan most years. Which isn’t a bad plan when you don’t have a good team. You put yourself to be somewhat relevant. But like you said, it’s really hard to advance as lower seeds. The pro and con and cronins system.
