Quote:Given the number of times we've made it to the sweet sixteen over the last three decades (I believe this was only the fifth). I don't think you can be too disappointed with any season in which we get there.
I don't subscribe to the school of thought that NCAA tournament outcome is the primary measurement of a season. The 2004 season was a fantastic experience, despite the frustrating loss in the 2nd round. Conversely, the 2014 season was very frustrating and disappointing, despite the wile ride of winning 2 consecutive games to put us in the Sweet 16. There are too many random outcomes in a 6 game tournament to take one season's worth of tournament run as an indication of that season's success. In the same vein, I would prefer to win the Pac12 regular season than the tournament. It's a much stronger indication of a team's performance.
