Message: [QUOTE="RichZ, post: 5083042, member: 534"] That's what came into my mind as well. But that's based on foggy memory, and while we certainly weren't favored to win it, it wasn't THAT much of a turnaround. When I looked it up, we went into that season ranked 18th and ended the regular season 19th. We ate the non-con schedule like a bag of chips. We beat Florida in early December and suffered our first loss in mid-December to Stanford. 6 of our eventual 8 losses were to teams ranked above us, including a L in the AAC championship game against #2 Louisville. And after a tough opening game (OT against 10th seed, St Joes) we ran through the tourney that featured a pair of highlight games -- Nova, seeded 2nd in our division, and Florida (again) seeded #1 in the south and ranked #1 in the NCAA poll. Until I revisited that season after getting intrigued by this post, I considered it a bad year. In retrospect, it really wasn't. [/QUOTE]
