Change the subject all you want but this was Marty's most successful year at Evansville and once again he couldn't put the Aces in a respectable postseason tournament due, mostly, to the resume they finished the season with.
If there is any truth to this statement then perhaps it does suggest that the UE administration is the one who doesn't understand that Quantity of Wins =/= NCAA/NIT. (Quantity of) Quality Wins = NCAA/NIT.
The Aces not getting to a respectable post season tournament was not decided by the fact that there were no notable wins in the OOC, it was decided when the Aces lost five of the six games they played with the three other best teams in the conference. Had the Aces swept NIU, and Ill. St., and maybe split with the Shocks we wouldn't be having this conversation. The Aces dug their own grave when they couldn't beat the conference teams they needed to beat in either the regular season or March Madness.
