quote:Actually, you need to realize the W column doesn't count into anything. No amount of regular season Ws ever got a team a trophy in college basketball since the NCAAs came around (a loooong time ago). It's all about the committee. And if you think losing by 2 to the #1 team in the country is no different than any other L (which, btw, every single team before the committee will have), then you have no idea what selection or selection committee mean, much less how this one works.
you need to realize that these "almost won" games don't actually count in the W column
You do realize we could be 12-19, and if the committee wanted to they could still put us into the tournament, right? And if we won 6 straight games there, we'd be 18-19, with more of those dreaded Ls you hate than the beloved Ws you worship, and still holding up the National Championship Trophy. It's all about what the committee wants, and they want a team that can play with anybody to have a chance in the tourney. Today that's LSU showed them. So, yeah, our chances got better.

hold on let me call Herm Edwards....
yeah, he told me you play to win the game....

and FWIW, i do believe that if we are "close", we are in, because of the draw of Ben Simmons... other than that, we would have a much harder road to the NCAA Tourney....

we also showed them we will fold like a lawn chair, give up a double digit lead on our own court, all while having full sails on the wind of our crowd.... luxuries we won't have in the tourney....

sorry but "almost winning" a game isn't helping our chances... eventually we have to actually win them.... again, i think if we are close and possibly even a little undeserving, we get in on the strength of wanting to see Ben Simmons, who's a solid #2 for the Wooden Award, so far....
