Back in 2011 UConn was not making the NCAA tournament unless it won 2 games in the Big East tournament. Then they won the BE tournament and ended up with a 3 seed. Theoretically if UConn can win the AAC tourney or get to the finals at least it should not be that hard as long as they continue to show improvement. The years that UConn did not make the NCAA tournament, they didn't deserve to make it. Nobody here can seriously claim that the 2010 team deserved to be in. They sucked. They even sucked in the NIT. Before that in 2007 they were too young and before that I think in 2001 that was when Taliek was a freshman and he really wasn't that good as a frosh. Nobody can seriously claim that any of those teams deserved to be in the NCAA tournament, they didn't.
The current team should make it, if they continue to play as they have of late.
