1 NCAA tourney appearance in 5 years is somewhat unfair. When he took over, Turgeon had left him with pretty much nothing. He's been consistently in the discussion for an NCAA at-large bid for the last three years. The MVC doesn't get multiple bids every year, and so only crediting someone for something that often only goes to a tournament winner is disingenuous.
I'm sure that's something Creighton fans would agree with, considering you've also only had one NCAA appearance in the last 5 years. And what was it, 2009 when you won the conference but didn't get a bid?
Judging any MVC team on NCAA appearances is tough, because it's tough to get an at-large bid if you lose the tournament.
And Coldblooded is hardly liked on the Shocker forums, either.
