[quote="austour" post=319099] We all know STJ's sordid history in the dance but over the course of 25 years from 76-2000, not exactly ancient times to most of us, these are the stats:
Total Times in the Tourney - 19, 76% (plus 1 NIT championship)
Total Times winning at least one game - 12, 48%
Number of times getting out of the first weekend (Sweet 16) - 5, 20%
Elite 8s - 4, 16%
Final Fours -1
So yeah, getting overly confident is silly but let's not pretend it's impossible.
Long story short, no program worth it's socks should be satisfied with just making it to the dance, even this one.
I don't care if or when any coach gets fired, I just want to win. If Mullin gets the program there he proves me wrong. That would be nice. Especially since it's now been 9 years since the school started paying market rates for coaches. Let's see some real results.[/quote]
Agree with your entire post, austour. Simply making the tournament doesn't do anything for me. Especially, considering this is supposed to be a breakthrough season.
