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.

To each his own. I always found it very frustrating when we would do extremely well in the conference and then flame out early in the tournament.

Also, what were we, tied for third in the conference this year? That may not be great, but it's hardly horrible, either.

P.S. I doubt if too many Dayton fans are saying "let's not get too excited about our run to the great eight, because our conference record wasn't all that impressive."
