Along with bubble teams, this is the other popular topic that pops up around tournament time.
"Not only will this team get in, they're the type of team that could go on a run".
With my definition of a "run" meaning they make it to the Sweet Sixteen, what are the characteristics of a team that could make a run?
In 1989, the Gophers got their first bid in 7 years, and I felt (as did others) the team could make a run, and they did. Not sure if it was just the optimism of being back in the tournament, but I hadn't felt that as much with the Gopher bubble teams in the past.
So in your own words, what is it about a tournament team that makes them likely to "make a run"?
