Please give some historical perspective to the question of schools who have had poor seasons following a Final Four appearance. Is Tennessee the biggest flop....or have there been others?

They aren't a flop, they are just young., and now have one of their best players injured. Not everyone can be Stanford. I think it is pretty remakable that a school like Tennessee can make the Final Four, I mean, how many schools have ever been to a Final Four, out of the 300+ that play? 25? 30? Idaho Boy will probably know. Santa Clara isn't exactly setting the world on fire, and Elite 8 team Arizona is having a down year.
Hey IB what is the number?

Call me crazy for thinking this, but didn't Cal Poly make a Final Four many moons ago?

It doesn't help to dispel the perception that you were a two week wonder when you are unable to follow up your run with another strong season. Right now, I am not even sure UT is in the NCAA tournament, with all the losses they have taken. They will probably make it, but they should play on the road and against a good team in a neutral site match if that is the case. If they can advance from that, it would make them look better. I realize they are young and have injuries, but top teams fight through that and still win a lot.

Wasn't Tennessee in the Sweet 16 the year before?
IB- I think you arre right, Cal Poly was in, when Sandy Aughenbaugh (sp) played there.
