Yeah but I don't think they will consider that. They just see we lost to those teams.

we were sloppy in that one but made it a game. georgia is a solid team. a road loss against them isnt that bad for the resume.
right but they lost by double digits. Had that game come down to a last shot it might be different, just seeing the box score, it's a 10-point defeat.

Georgia loss wasn't bad at all but that extra Q1 win would have had us protecting a #3 seed instead of chasing one. Especially, since a weak spot of most teams we're competing against like Iowa St, Purdue, Kansas etc is their mediocre finish.

no chance of passing iowa st. or probably gonzaga but the rest are indeed possible. yes we lost to purdue but we also beat illinois who beat purdue so that along with what happens to them the rest the way technically makes it a real possibility.
Games to watch:
KANSAS Vs first good opponent in Big12 tourney. We already have a better resume than them head to head but they're named Kansas so they may need one more loss.
Iowa @ NEBRASKA
Wisconsin @ PURDUE
Ariz St @ IOWA ST (ISU has lost 3 of 4 and their resume is a lot closer to ours than you'd think)
TEXAS TECH @ BYU
Oregon St or San Fran Vs GONZAGA in WCC Tourney (long shot but Gonzaga dropping this game while others here or Bama beat 2 more tourney bound teams could drop them)
If three of those upsets were to happen Saturday, the road to a 3 seed opens a little by just getting to Sunday.

true that the win wouldve mattered alot more. def wouldnt of cared about winning the sec tourney at that point but probably still wouldve needed to win atleast one more depending who against.

yep, and i do think all of those except for the iowa st. game would be possible.

florida has been on a tear but they arent perfect either. bama is one of the few teams capable of taking them but thats just how i see it.
Not sure who your dealer is, but they must be giving you some “good stuff.”
We would be lucky to keep it single digits if we played them at home, with Bediako available, and after we had plenty of rest/prep. Beating them in our 3rd game in 3 days on a neutral court with their front court depth compared to ours is nothing short of a hallucination.

Right? We should just call it a season and get started on next year. No point in playing another game since we can't possibly beat Florida.

This is such a low effort post. We made a final four due to having a path with good matchups and the team we didn’t matchup with lost to Clemson. It could happen again. People can be knowledgeable basketball fans and joke about our limitations without giving up on the season.
Are you season ticket holder? Will you be there Saturday or traveling to support the team during the NCAA? If not, maybe you are the one that gave up on the season. If we play a 1 seed in the NCAAT this year, I’ll likely be there cheering us on in person regardless of whether we have a roster that can win or not. Some people are fair weather fans and don’t understand the game…they typically say things like “call it a season” and other nonsense like it.
