[QUOTE="JFGsCoffeeMug, post: 1576159, member: 74571"] I guess the voters saw the Maryland loss as an off-game, instead of as an indictment of our overall quality as a team (or maybe an impressive come-from-behind blowout on the road negates a close loss at home). On the one hand, it's hard to feel good about four losses. On the other hand, aside from the Baylor game, these losses have all been by 3 points. We're not getting outclassed here. I think that's what kills me the most as a fan. Even in our losses, we are in these games at the very end. The margins are so small here. One fewer turnover or a few more made free throws, and we force overtime. And if we are simply average in both categories, these losses suddenly become wins. Losing always sucks. But losing close games the way we've been losing them is uniquely frustrating. [/QUOTE]
