re: Check in if you have the best basketball coach in the SEC

Agree - making the 2nd weekend feels like an accomplishment. If you get there you had a very good year. That's kind of the cutoff for me, too.

Making the 2nd weekend means every damn thing is still on the table. Even a team with some flaws. 2 wins from the Final Four.

Also agree. Every tournament appearance, championship, sweet 16, elite 8, final four (hopefully for us at some point) is adding a block to a program resume that helps move it ahead of the glut of other SEC programs that we are all kind of in behind Kentucky and Arkansas (and Florida, technically, but I think everyone kind of looks at that as a Donovan thing and not a program thing).

Agree. I desperately want Final Four #7. It separates us from a pack of teams who have 6 Final Fours historically and puts us right on the heals of Indiana from an all time ranking perspective. I believe we currently have a coach who can get the program on a run similar to Sutton and maybe with some luck a run like Nolan.



Agree on Florida...each year they seem to get farther and farther away from what Donovan built there. Felt like they held on to White too long.
