Absolutely not. We've got to win the conference tournament to get in...we had our chances. The only 9 and 10-loss teams that truly deserve to get into the dance our teams that play deep, solid conference schedules day in and day out (the ACC, Big East, Pac 10).
But, with Kent State as an almost in for an at-large bid (they're ranked 23rd right now in the AP), we have a great shot at winning the MAC tournament. Maybe being ranked and having an at-large would take some fight out of the Golden Flashes come MAC Tournament time...highly doubtful. They looked awesome against St. Mary's on Saturday night.
This could be the end of a really nice run for Leon Williams. He had some really great help, but, I have to say that we haven't been able to get it all done with Tim O'Shea. Getting to the big dance in 2004 was awesome (one of the highlights of my collegiate experience), but we've had teams since then that have had the same or even more talent than when we almost knocked off Florida in the NCAA tourney.
