Don't think I used the term close losses but my point was they were competitive until late in the game when the talent took over for the other teams. SC was almost a mirror image of us as far as that goes. And it was defense that kept us in many of those games until late in the second half but when you don't j have the offense to sustain that then you inevitably lose. A 13 point loss is double digits yes but it can be an 8 point game with 4 minutes left and you end up losing by 13. That is a competitive game under any circumstance. Especially with teams that went to the sweet 16, elite 8 and final 4 not to mention the eventual national champion. Truth is we beat a sweet 16 team, should have beaten another in Ole Miss and were competitive till late with Auburn. AL and FL. We also got blown out by TX, Mizzou and Miss St although St was without Reed, Ward, Chest and Vmiller, This is definitely a no excuses season this year. I do agree with that.

I don’t think “fans” like you will be happy AT ALL if McMahon wins and we get into the tournament. Y’all have written his obituary, so if he wins it will become “Great! Now we have this terrible coach for at least a couple more seasons.”

You loathe him so much you can never enjoy the sport while he is here. That is fairly obvious

Or poor conditioning, poor coaching and/or losing mentality of team who doesn’t know how to win/have confidence they could win. Each explanation as good as the next, talent, conditioning, mentality/culture.

You're wrong. We were close (McMahon supporters favorite accomplishment) until late in the FIFTH quarter, Einstein.

We can't enjoy the sport while he's here because we get our asses handed to us on an ungodly consistent basis by any team with a pulse.

All this "coach" has to do to win me over is perform as well OR BETTER than Wade did here.

I don't care who coaches us, I want us at the Auburn, bama, and Tennessee level in the SEC. The guy before had us on that track. This funeral home director is CLUELESS.
