UT has been the most consistent and is probably playing better than anyone in the league, but it's still Feb. UT has made 22 NCAAs and has one great 8, no final fours.

USC has 9 NCAAs and has gone farther than UT ever has.

MSU has 11 NCAAs and has also gone farther than UT ever has.

Not to pick on just UT, Bama has 20 NCAAs and has flamed out in the tourney as bad as UT, with only 1 great 8.

Bottom line, hard to bet on Bama or UT in the NCAA

Yes both programs are well aware that we're the answer to the trivia question: what are the two best programs to never have success in March?

That's why I kinda laugh at people that try to make this a Barnes issue. It's not. The tourney is setup for chaos and because that makes for great viewing that will never change. Unfortunately we've drawn the short straw and a lot of teams that should've gone farther and would've had the tourney been a 2 out of 3 (or more) game setup. Single elimination has been a killer in a game that often allows players to have magical nights and terrible nights that don't necessarily match their overall level of play.
