[QUOTE="thrillini, post: 1250560, member: 31517"] Your issue, Chief, is that you're considering the game from a "How good does this win make me feel about my team" perspective, whereas those you're railing against are speaking from a "How might this victory appear to a selection committee in March" perspective. No one's in here saying that all our worries about this team have evaporated. But if we continue to improve our play, and NCSt continues to improve theirs, both teams might end up having a record that placing them in the mix for a tourney berth. If all the above comes to be, last night's victory will be a positive to any committee member looking at our resumé. Surely you don't believe the committee is looking at how well individual teams looked during single games in November when preparing their list? And if we made the dance, would you still be moaning about the quality of the team we played on 11/29? No one's 'logicking' themselves into believing that we beat a tourney-grade team firing on all cylinders last night. Do you deny anyone's right to feel better that the team looked better, that the rotations seemed to make more sense, and that the team won for the first time in four games? [/QUOTE]
