Its the current lowest acceptable benchmark to a decent season.
As I said originally:

"Finishing in top 3rd of conf and earning an at large bid is the baseline metric for a decent season at MU. Anything below that and it wasn't a good year. That historically holds true dating back to before they expanded the tourney to 64 teams and through 3 different conferences."
Our 1972 and 73 teams were excellent teams but went to the NIT. Different landscape then.
