When you look at this, this is probably what our Program is capable of. NIT 3 Seed (sweet 16) 9 Seed 8 Seed (round 32) 6 seed So, 80% of the time we make the tournament 40% of the time we have a 6 seed or better. This isn't even that hard to do if you are a serious program and you hire a decent coach



I agree.

I think in any 5 year period, I'd expect 4 tournament appearances, with 1 of those years winning or nearly winning the SEC and having a chance with the right draw to make a deep run (2019, they just got shafted and placed in a region with Zions Duke and Tom Izzo MSU)

There is absolutely no reason we can't be as successful as Auburn. Their last 5 years

24-25- Final 4 (1 seed)
23-24- 1st Round (4 seed)
22-23 2nd Round (9 seed)
21-22 2nd Round (2 seed)
20-21 missed tournament

Absolutely, the ambivalence for basketball at Auburn before Pearl got there was even more deeply entrenched than here. It was next to zero.
