. Yes I would rather be in the NCAA Tourney .
We're done here. Thank you.
. Yes I would rather be in the NCAA Tourney .
So would you rather be UF or MSU?? UF still playing. MSU EMBARRASSED and now apart of all time history in a BAD way. Yes I would rather be in the NCAA Tourney but I would not want to be linked to having lost in the first round to a MAJOR underdog when MSU was an overwhelming favorite to go to the Final 4.

Your ultimate goal is to win the tourney no matter what.
Coach White just tied Tommy Bartlett for the most wins ever by a first year Gator coach. One more and the record will be all his. Also, Brockway says White is unusually adept at drawing up inbounds plays--two resulting in wide open lay ups.
Say, don't I remember some of you coach wannabes complaining about his in bounds plays?

I like you jboss, but I think you're off base here. I'd rather make the big dance with a chance to make some noise, even if we were to lose in the first round (it happens). I'm all for playing in the NIT (since that's what we deserved anyway) and getting this young team some post season experience, but nothing can replace getting into the dance and maybe pulling a couple of upsets to get to the Sweet 16 or further. Who knows? Would I want to be MSU right now? HELL NO! But I also would have rather been in the dance with a chance to do something. We were MSU about what, 15 years ago when we lost to Creighton in the first round (not as bad as MSU, but it happens).LOL, ya'll would be crying and complaining like crazy had we been one and done in the ncaa tourney ESPECIALLY if we had made history going down to a 15 seed. My question is whether or not you would want to be MSU or UF at this very moment?? MSU was a Final 4 contender and EXPECTED to go all the way pretty EASILY. They crapped the bed and lost in a HUGE shocking upset. YES you ALWAYS want to make the tourney BUT i definitely would not want to be a laughingstock like MSU right now. They were a popular pick to make the Final 4 in the easiest bracket.

That's the one I was actually trying to remember! 2004. We were a 5 seed, just like vs. Creighton, but losing to Manhattan was worse. Creighton at least had Kyle Korver.
Thanks for the reminder Bart. I still haven't forgiven Orien Greene for that absurd 5 second call late in the game with the lead.
While painful I think the most embarrassing tournament loss was the blowout against Manhattan a year or two after that.
