2010 displayed a big an athletic team that was experienced and dominated a better CUSA and was our last NCAA tourney team.
In 2014, we had 2 athletic guys at 6'8 (that had to play out of position) and one strong center in Lang. Omega and E. Morris were athletic but new to D1. Willms was injured. Had McKenzie Moore not gotten in trouble the previous year we are in the tourney again IMO.
In 2017, we will have again a big athletic team with some good experience all around. We have some decent out of conference games and there are really only 4 teams that can produce a regular season or tournament championship this year (ODU, WKU, UAB and UTEP). I don't think CTFs 1st NCAA appearance with miners is unfeasable this year. I know there is a lot of skepticism (me too), but I haven't felt this positive since 2014. If one of the PGs turns out to be a sparkplug then look out.
