Honestly I was surprised at the preseason predictions of us making the tourney. We were pretty much the same team from last year and still without anyone in the post. The they were hyping up CJ and I was hoping he would finally step up but he has not played well. He is the key to our success though.

I agree with you for the most part, but if you look at the last 8-10 games of last season (in conference play) CJ was amazing.

That combined with a weak schedule and the SEC being down meant that making the tourney was improbably but nowhere near impossible.
