VCU in 2011. That team beat my Jayhawks in Elite 8 and made final four. Time for TU to take advantage of this opportunity.
Last Time An At Large Was This Criticized

Hi, I'm Jester and I approve this message
With all due respect to PhogBot, no one in the history of the NCAA tourney has been more vilified, dissed on, downgraded, joked about, reviled, bad-mouthed, hated on, criticized, etc... in a 24 hour period since selections than TU. I swear, turn on any Bracketology show anywhere,anytime & it won't take 5 minutes for some expert to start in on the team or the coach with their crap. If it didn't piss me off so much I might begin to believe it.
Never in my 35 years of being hard-core TU do I want our team to win a game so bad, and when & if it happens, to tell the 80 bracketologists & every single talking head on sports tv to "suck on that you scumsuckers"!

I can at least *understand* someone trying to argue a different resume.
But the Haith stuff? And the conspiracies? Gross.
Let's ruin the party even more!!

I love the villification Tulsa has been talked about more in the past 24 hours than we would've this entire basketball season combined if we made the NIT.
Plus I can't wait for Birt to stare down a mouthy underclassman of Michigan like he did Shake

Remember Eric Coley at the post Cincy press conference "that's what they get for calling me Conley?" I'd like an updated moment in Dayton
Well, there's one who doesn't suck nearly as much as all the others, God Bless Coach Pete Gillen for the kind words about TU & Shaq & Juice. That's because "he knows" having called a couple of Tulsa's games earlier in the season. However, even he picks Mich by a point-why am I not surprised.
I think everyone is still wondering what team is going to show up. I still have the previous game burned in my mind. If they play like we all know they can, this team can go as far as they want!
I think Michigan is beatable if the guys can hit shots. Notre Dame and West Virginia wouldn't be my idea of a realistic shot at the sweet 16.
If we get past Michigan and ND we are playing at a very high level and if we meet WV playing at high level, that could be a hell of a game! It's March bring on the madness!!
Both ND and WVa have man-child inside players that would cause us to struggle. Wonder if Huggy-Bear remembers the last time he face off against Tulsa?
I really love how fans go from suicidal to giddy with expectations in a nanosecond. Fandom, there is nothing like it.
Fan. Short for fanatic.
Go TU

Was something said to the media by Frank Haith today? I was listening to college sports radio on XM. I don't know who the two guys were but they were talking about the Tulsa/Michigan game and one of them said they're taking Michigan only because of what Frank Haith said today. They said "you can't get a tournament birth gift wrapped to you and then complain like he just did"
What did I miss?

I heard that as well. I couldn't decide if the two guys knew what the hell they were talking about or not. They pointed out that we were bad on D on the perimeter and that we couldn't bang around Michigan down low. I think we've been bad on D on the perimeter because most of the teams we've played have had height advantages down low and we played a ton of zone to compensate. That left holes on the perimeter. I don't see us needing to bang down low to win either.
Not a word about Haith saying anything today on Twitter.
So whoever said that was is full of crap.
Shocking.
