[QUOTE="robbroyy, post: 2702519, member: 3272"] I think as much as anything the blowing the 21 point lead to OK St in the tourney hurt, even though we still won. Had we held onto win by 15+ you could make the case for momentum coupled with the win at TX. But the committee uses the eye test a little and I think blowing that lead showed that the 7 man roster just wasn’t going to be able to compete for 40 minutes against NCAA Tournament quality teams. Take into account the only team we beat with a pulse the last month of the season was Iowa St and that’s all the justification the committee needed. We couldn’t beat quality teams consistently. Our wins in conference - 2x - Texas - win in Austin was very similar to football winning at Baylor this year. Probably shouldn’t have won but beat a better team due to heart. 1 - OKST holding tryouts in January to field a team - and that was at the buzzer 1 - West Virginia as they hit rock bottom 2 - Iowa St - gave us a chance 1 - Baylor - blew a 20 point lead in that one also. We just couldn’t play for 40 mins against good teams. Non conference we beat a bad USC and SMU team with Fisher and held on to Florida after blowing a big lead vs them as well. Hopefully Lat and Barlow get healthy, the newcomers can all play and NOT leave. [/QUOTE]
