Rose has twice gone into the NCAA tournament with the MWC POY. The first year he had the current MWC POY and the guy that won it the following year. Add to that that he also had a guy who is going to be a second round draft pick. Last year he had the POY and a guy who will be a second round draft pick. Next year he has the returning POY and a solid team surrounding him.

Combine the failures of the past two years with Rose's poor tournament record at Dixie and another failure next year will sure point to an inability to win in the tournament.
