I think the last 3+ years, we’ve been an elite team/program. Remains to be seen if we can maintain it. Upper echelon. Absolutely. But Elite program and 3 years is not really synonymous. I think if you want to cut it down to 3 years, you have to make it passed the sweet 16 more than once.... aka make it to the ELITE eight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking back at the last 5 tournaments, a runner-up, elite-8, and a S16 isn’t matched by many programs. But you make a good argument.

Won't win any good PR points with other coaches for sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
