I am pretty sure we ended up losing to Duke in the second round that year though. We played Texas in 2002.

but that 2004 team underachieved. If you are a top 10 team and you don't make it past the first weekend - you underachieved. It was a great season - a lot of hardware was won but there was disappointment with the way the season ended.

Disappointing yes. Underachieving no. At the beginning of that season did you expect us to go 26-4 and win an outright SEC title? They overachieved and then disappointed us at the end after we changed our expectations.<div>

we won the SEC Championship. We didn't get past the first weekend. We were a top 5 team. We underachieved.

in the 2nd half of the Vanderbilt game in the SEC Tournament. We weren't the same team after that. We were up by about 10 points and then lost it and Roberts played injured in the Texas game.<div id="isChromeWebToolbarDiv" style="display:none"></div>

It was Xavier, not Texas. That Xavier squad got hot at the right time, won their conference tourney and made it to the Elite 8. We beat them earlier in the year.
