I agree. This year's schedule gave us a chance at an at-large bid, and kept us in the national at-large discussion into late-February.
Next season we should have CSU, Marshall, Creighton and Oral Roberts at home. Maybe ORU in 2013-14, but we'll see.
Regardless, the neutral court games in Puerto Rico, plus the high-mid-majors @ home, give us a great shot at breaking through the glass ceiling next year.
But we still have 5 or 6 games left in 2011-12 before we need to contemplate the distant future.
