As I've already told the guy... when you're the program with the most wins to go along with 8 titles, I don't see where conference talk and how well they've fared in past NCAA tournaments is even relevant.
That's my point. Some of your homies are on that train especially with your history.
If the conference as a whole shit's the bed this week/next week IMO it will wipe away what you did from Nov-Jan.
No one is going to remember what you did in the regular season, they going to remember what you did in March.
