Down 2 spots after that beating. Now let's finish strong get a 5/6-seed. No excuses, the next 2 games have to be wins.

For 3 years in a row every other game became a must win. This year no different other than we are a lock in tourney so most say. Loose out, not so sure and I don't trust this team in any game.

We're locked in the tournament. Here are our losses

Q2 Neutral vs. 76
Q1 Away @ 51
Q1 Home vs. 12
Q1 Away @ 1
Q1 Home vs. 14
Q1 Home vs. 6
Q1 Away @ 6
Q1 Home vs. 4
Q1 Away @ 5

We have two "bad" losses. The butler game was the second of a b2b with our star player hurt. I hate playing lower tier teams in those because it's just dumb luck. The OU loss is our only other loss outside the top 16.

If we lose any of the next 3 (vs. 80, vs. 39, @ 40) then it becomes more of a concern that we aren't round 2 material.

For comparison sake:
Auburn/Duke is who people seem to expect us to be which lol.
Houston has a loss against 49
Florida has a loss against 36
Tennessee has a loss against 43
Bama has a loss against 32 and 26
Tech has a loss against 74 and 82
Gonzaga has losses against 37, 48, 52, 79
Arizona has losses to 48, 51, and 81
ISU has a loss against 48

48 has a loss to 55 btw. We throttled 55. *numbers may change today slightly but you get the picture.

If you've watched any of our games this year announcers salivate over Josh Hubbard. He's absolutely a star. In any other conference he is a shoe-in for All conference. The SEC is just loaded.

If we had Gonzaga / Arizona / ISU schedule then we're top 10 with maybe 5 losses. I get people are mad about losing a game embarassingly but damn we've just had a ****ing insane schedule.

Hubbard is really good but I was hoping he would make a bigger jump from freshman to sophomore year. He is very talented and when he is on he is on but he needs to develop his game outside of shooting 3s coming off a screen and layups beating other team down the court after they make a 3.

So this year is no different except it's completely different since we're a lock. Got it. Makes complete and total sense.

Also, we're not going to loose or lose out.
