Capacity. Lamar had the three stooges...Davis, Key and Olivier.
Our at large team, nope, would not make it today. UTPA, Stetson and teams like that would kill our SOS today. That’s 4 games not counting the non D-1 games that would be SOS killers. We passed the eye test back then.
I’ve posted my position twice...last year’s brackets. People have their opinions set and nobody is changing. Akin to piz zing into a box fan.
Who they were yesterday, much like us back then is entirely different from how programs perform today. They were much better then, than they are today. My opinion is that same UL team, along with Marquette, Georgetown and a few others we defeated back then were much better during those eras'. Georgetown was much more a national power during the John Thompson era than what they are today. While I agree under today's system that UL team wouldn't sniff an at large invitation, it certainly would be better than every team in our conference today including our 27 win team last year. JMO
So since I’m supposed to bring all of the negativity into this thread, I will say this.
Tonight sucked. The end.
