So it goes

Had a conversation with an Aztec fan here at work. He kept on talking about 20 wins and how we look to be poised to get 20 wins and if we get 20 wins we'll get into the NCAA Tournament blah blah blah...

First, we don't necessarily subscribe to the 20 wins philosophy. There has been many teams left out with 20 or more wins. Second, who cares when you can't play consistent good ball? There is a part of us that almost doesn't want SDSU to be in March Madness just because they'll get beat up. Look, here is San Diego State in a nutshell: Can't win games against talented teams outside our conference (Arizona, Arizona State, St. Mary's), we lose the games we have no business losing (Wyoming). We can totally beat up on top talent within our conference (BYU, Utah, UNLV) but that is not good enough, damnit.

As long as those issues remain, we will forever be NIT bound.
