I see that sentiment a lot . And it is the automatic qualifier for who a johnny come lately fan is and who has watched our guys do this for the last 25 plus years.  Im using your post as the jump off. Im not saying this is you specifically, I know youve been here long time.

Winning the BET tourney was traditionally the only indicator we could actually make a NC run.    Obviously in 99 we won the BET and then got our NC.

In 2004 we won BET and the Natty.
  
In 2009 we didnt win the BET..... (damn 6 OT game) and we didnt win the Natty despite our juggernaut. If we won the BET that year we would've won the Title. Yeah I said it.

2011 we were 9-9 during conf, but Kemba'd our way to the BET,   5 in 5 , and I knew exactly then we would win Natty.

2014 no conf title. But it was AAC and no one can judge that clustereph.

2023  Im so glad we won the Natty last year, because after we lost to Marquette in the BET semis I was worried.

2024 we need to win BET so we can go out and win #6
