Vandy has been making the tournament every year. I'd lump us into the likely tournament team category; we just don't do anything once we are there. This year might be the first in a while where we don't make the tourney.

In the 1960's SEC basketball was really bad.
The 70's saw a change in SEC basketball...
KY was still the power, but in the deep south in BR Dale Brown was the person that changed the face of SEC basketball.
When LSU beat Ky in double over time with it's starting 5 fouled out the league had changed forever. Yes KY would go on and win the NCAA, the out cry from the NCAA holding teams out like LSU changed the format forever.
By the early 80's the SEC really was a super basketball conference, but the NCAA kept putting most of th sec teams in just 2 brackets, which lead to LSU having to face KY 4 times in one year.
The League was forever changed by the coach who said yes we can and he is little remembered.
Every school in the SEC saw what Dale had done at LSU and started to hire good coaches and spend money on basketball by 1980 and to upgrade their home courts.
But I can remember the 60's and the dumps many teams used to play in like LSU's cow palace. Pete built the AC at LSU, but Brown filled it with his running and gun and the freak defense.
The Deaf Dome was born and the song became a pro football teams long after Rudy, Hi C and the rest, but you can still hear if you listen, "Who Dat" "WHo Dat, talking about beating dem Tigers."
