I personally think, for what that's worth, that this team earned its way into the tourney. Just like the MBB team earned its way in, but wasn't included.
I hope this team goes far, but I'm not holding my breath. I think that JJ's performance in the B12 tourney would've been an awesome way to go out. I sincerely hope that he can continue on to the higher levels with Greg Maddux type stuff (I know someone mentioned that in a previous thread, but I told my wife before that comment that he looked like Maddux back when we were broke and watched a ton of Braves games).
I still love my Frogs!
