Katz disses Bradley

One of the all-time greats!

I don't understand how the last 20 years defines a program. I don't understand how NCAA basketball only means something since "certain many years ago".

But for you Lefty...

Last 20 years...

BYU has had 11 NCAA trips. They are 3-11. They have advanced beyond the first round 3 times and no further. No Sweet 16's (and beyond).

Princeton has had 9 NCAA trips. They are 2-9 and have advanced beyond the first round twice but nothing further (no Sweet 16's and beyond).

Bradley has had 3 NCAA trips. They are 2-3 and have been beyond the first round once and to the Sweet16 once.

I am not sure where the discussion wants to go with this info. So Bradley has had fewer trips to the NCAA. So do they need to find a conference where they have a better chance to win every year (therefore conceding we can never win the MVC or even compete)? I don't want them to. (time for BradleyBrave to enter saying I want Bradley to shoot for lower expectations and go to the Southland just to win Conference titles and get more bids to the NCAA)

That's not what I am suggesting.

Yeah...maybe I don't know what I was looking for there. I do appreciate you looking it up for us though..Some programs that may have been successful many years ago but things change and are not now...you know like Notre Dame football....just kidding

We look at BU and see them better than many programs around the country but I don't think many people around the country feel the same way. They look at those stats and look at NCAA appearances and may think BYU has a better program. I think people look at IVY league schools differently too.
We latch onto the Sweet Sixteen year but until we make a habit of getting to the tourney consisitently and winning some games most outside the state have forgotton BU was even there.
