That comment was Antwan-esque. Sounds like something realistic he would say and get killed for negativity.We have no one to blame but ourselves if we don't make it out of that regional.

That being said, I agree wholeheartedly. Our Regional was a gift, really. Columbia would have been a solid 4 seed somewhere, and we pull them as the 3 seed in our regional...I think they pulled a 3 seed due to their RPI (35). Texas Tech went 0-2 BBQ in the Big 12 Tourney against Texas/Oklahoma, but still has a similar overall record/RPI to us (41-17 vs 40-18, and 15 vs 17). So--Texas Tech being the toughest 2 seed in the tourney (in my opinion) is a bit of a suck, but they're beatable. Drawing Bethune-Cookman as our 4 seed is yet another gift, though. RPI at 202, 26-31 overall, and only got in due to winning the MEAC Tourney's auto bid.
Outside of a tough matchup against Texas Tech as our 2 seed, the rest of our Regional is pretty laughable. I know we lost to B-C early in the season, and they could very well beat us again, but if they beat us--we don't deserve to get out of the Regional anyway. If we're the good team we're supposed to be, and "poised for a postseason run", then they should demolish B-C, and set up a 2-game showdown against either Texas Tech/Columbia to earn the right to go see the Gheytors in McKethan (again).
Columbia has won like 40 in a row or something.
