Here are our 8 Quad 1 wins:
Arkansas
Ole Miss
Auburn
Wofford
Cincinnati
Clemson
Dayton
St. Mary's

Meanwhile, our 6 Quad 1 losses:
Tennessee
Auburn
Kentucky
LSU
Alabama
Kentucky

So only 3 have come in 2019, and they're against OM (who we split with), Auburn (who we split with), and Arkansas.

It's not that hard to see that our fans aren't going to view all of these as big wins, and they're going to look at those 2 lists and say, 'Yeah, we beat mediocre teams and lose to all the good teams.' Which actually isn't that inaccurate.

We are one of those teams who has benefited from a very smart OOC schedule that has worked out for us, so we're more of a 'good resume' team than 'oh man, that team is dangerous' team.
Look at the road wins, neutral site wins, and right now our worse loss is at USCe and maybe home loss to OM.
Once again.. take off the football mentality. I had rather be a good resume tram than one that is back dooring their way into the tourney ...
We have proved we can beat good teams and tourney teams
Home courts are a big deal.. those are gone now. A lot of teams ranked higher than us have huge issues winning road games. You get teams out of their own building lots of things can happen
Anyone who thinks this team CANT win a 2nd round game in the tourney is completely wrong . And that’s not saying we will
We might go one and done. Ask last years Virginia team what can happen come tourney time
