I don't think people realize how shite the bubble has been every year recently.

I agree, but that's asking a lot. I think it's fair to expect an NIT/bubble type team. This team will be talented, it's all about how long it takes from them to get it together.

I also think it will be hard to make the tourney b/c of our shitty scheduling. Schedule hasn't come out yet, but if it's anything like the last few years, it won't do us in favors. It's better to play teams that are really good and lose, than play shitty teams and win. Beating Sam Houston St does absolutely nothing for you. Losing to Kansas would increase your RPI more than the win vs Sam Houston. All you have to do is look at Vandy and South Carolina 2 years ago. Both finished 11-7 in the SEC, USC was 24-8, Vandy was 19-13, and Vandy made the tourney. Vandy played Kansas/Dayton/Purdue/Texas/Baylor, all ranked, and lost all of them. USC played Clemson, who wasn't good, and a bunch of crappy teams, and won them all.
