9-15: the ugliest stat of all.

[DowntownVol]

9-15 is UT's overall record in the NCAA tournament. This needs to change. Let's hope it starts this year. I like the draw. We all know Virginia is a very winnable game, and should the cards fall right, we had the tOSU game in the bag and blew it; should be ready for them again, if we get that far. I just hope the younger players don't take Long Beach St. too lightly and start dreaming too big too soon.

I wouldn't be opposed to being right at .500 all time in the tournament at the conclusion of this year's big dance.

I'm curious as to who thinks that meeting a team we've played before might just favor the opposition?

IMO, our draw looks about as good as we could have hoped for. If we can find a way to win the first two, strange things could happen. . . .

I think if we win the first two it would be a strange thing.

Historically, yes. But, this year's team has been full of surprises. Let's hope the tourney holds the same type as the Memphis, OK State, Memphis, Texas, and Florida home games!

The ugliest part about that stat is that we have only played 24 games.

i was thinking the same things, on both counts.....

6 wins this year would get us to .500 in tourney play...that'd be cool w/me.

and i agree KD....i don't know that i like the prospect of having to face Memphis or OSU again either....

Well, I know it's off-topic, but 5-6 is still the ugliest stat of all for me!

 

[cibai]

that stat is actually worse than it looks since you can only get one loss per tourney, but multiple wins.

 

[VolinArizona]

Thank goodness the stat that actually matters is 1-1.

Alternatively, 50% of the teams in this year's tourney will finish 0-1; another 25% will finish 1-1.

yep.....like Jay bilas said last night of all the prognostication about the tourney.....

"Well, you know 1/2 of the feild is going to lose on the 1st day"

which, i thought was kind of funny at the time given so much time to the selection process and analysis...lol: .
