Playing a tougher schedule. BT also had one miserable 5 win year. He also took us to three NCAA tournaments and an NIT F4. He even won a game in the tournament. Im OK with Jeff for now, but other than BTs drunk year, I don't see how he and JJ are even close yet. Hopefully Jeff reaches and surpasses what Blaine did, but he's got a way to go first.

4 NCAA Tournaments actually. 2005 (Michigan State), 2007 at-large (Butler), 2010 (Notre Dame/Baylor), 2011 (Butler).

You're right. Man, that was a strong run. 05, 07, 10, 11. Plus an NIT Final 4. Thats 5 out of 7 years in a row.

We had another nice run from 92-99 that included 3 NCAAs and 3 NITs for 6 out of 8 seasons.

That pretty much wraps up my time as a Monarch fan, which is probably why Im such a fan.

Its also why I think its entirely reasonable for us to expect to go to the NCAAs at least every 3 or 4 seasons... because thats exactly what we've done consistently in the past. This year will be 7 years, which is entirely unacceptable, though only 5 will have been with JJ so far. Hopefully, the drought ends this season.
