Sorry, you can quote the game’s stats if you want but I said a week or so ago I don’t see this team making a run and you called me out then too. If you objectively watched the team perform throughout the year, this loss is not surprising. What you just mentioned is sloppy play, something we have shown we are quite capable of doing throughout the year.
I’ve seen the team go cold from 3’s, miss open layups, and have infuriating turnovers. I’ve seen opposing players have career games against us. Some fans apparently chose to forget that these things have happened throughout the season.
I get that people are disappointed and some are surprised, and I’m disappointed too. But I’m also looking forward to the next few years because there’s finally light in this basketball tunnel.
I didn't call you out on it. I just said that it's not crazy to think the team might be able to win a couple games. I mean, UMBC just won a game so why is it not possible that TCU could? I wasn't even making any predictions about what WOULD happen, just saying that it's crazy to think we CAN'T win a couple games. I still feel that way. Just because we didn't doesn't mean it was always impossible the whole time.
I understand the team has played sloppy all year, but it's not like Syracuse just won their last two games by playing clean, flawless basketball. We've been sloppy all year and still won 21 games. You can win sloppy because lots of other teams play sloppy and inconsistent like we do.
I'm just saying that to act like everyone on here who's disappointed in, what was not just a sloppy game, but a dreadful offensive performance is not totally insane. I'm not shocked we lost and I'm not even super disappointed about the loss personally. But I wouldn't blame anyone who watched that game last night and came away immensely frustrated and disappointed with the way the team played.
I think we would've lost to Michigan St tomorrow anyway and I think next year's team is going to be better than this year's team. But that doesn't mean people have no right to be disappointed or frustrated at what was probably our worst offensive game of the year.
