Do we have any shot at the NCAA tournament?

They say Auburn is in it, no matter what happens at the SEC's. "Making" the NCAA tournament is a pretty low bar as a measure of success. They take 64 teams. We haven't accomplished much at all until we are at least in the discussion about competing for the SEC regular season championship. We're not even close to that level yet.

Don't disagree with you.....but our men's team has barely even been able to touch the bar in a long time...much less get over it. ...so I give some credit to the ladies for even being in the legitimate discussion about making the NCAA.   Women's basketball in the SEC seems to have more depth and quality than the men's programs.
