Well, sir--maybe you should spend some time trying to understand the context of my original post--which was a response to VolSportsFan's post.
We barely beat Bama at home, and managed to lose 2 games on the road when we had the lead for the majority of those games and failed to close them out.
Those losses are disappointing, but as BruinVol posted above, not BAD losses when considering the overall trajectory of this season, which is still in progress.
As one who is NOT a BB expert such as yourself, those 2 road losses (LSU, Auburn) appear to me to be an indication that this team will not make it out of the sweet 16, much less the F4.
I WANT to believe....and I WANT them to fly the ORANGE all the way to the F4.
I still fail to see how your comment about DUKE was relevant to this thread.
On another note--do any of you really expect our VOLS to beat KY in Nashville? It's an honest and sincere question--especially if #22 is healthy and starts for KY.
15-3 is a record we'd all have been estatic with when the season started. Anyone throwing shade on that is crazy
Ahh, another poster from who got his entire post wrong.
Duke also finished 3rd in the ACC. I guess they suck too.
It's fans like you that deserve to cheer for mediocrity because you can't enjoy success. People like yourself would somehow find fault in an undefeated season, so no one really cares about your opinion on our 27-4 year.
They split with Kentucky and lost close games to LSU and Auburn which were both on the road... No way either one of those teams would have won in TBA. The schedule worked against us just a little bit. We will see how it works out on a neutral court. Like I've said before, I love our chances in Nashville.“People like yourself”... Really man? Can we not have difference of opinion in a civilized conversation?
Fact is, losing to Kentucky, LSU, and Auburn should raise some concern considering we’ve all been praising this team as “great” all year long. Based on our record against top notch opponents it is fair to conclude that we are GOOD, not great. There’s nothing wrong with that and certainly doesn’t make one any less of a fan by coming to that conclusion.

Sure, I guess we'll focus on those four losses on the road or neutral sites and let them define our entire season, and just simply forget about those wins vs Kentucky at home, and Gonzaga and Louisville on neutral courts.“People like yourself”...

Another point to add on the schedule; what if we had started the conference portion of our schedule with the last seven games as our first seven instead? We start the conference 4-3 in SEC play, 16-4 and then close out winning 11 straight to finish 15-3 in SEC play, and 27-4 overall.They split with Kentucky and lost close games to LSU and Auburn which were both on the road...

So 18-0 in the conference and 30-1 overall is all you would have accepted to not have "concern". And "concern" about what?“People like yourself”... Really man? Can we not have difference of opinion in a civilized conversation?

Fabrication. You ladies are something else.
This. Bottom line, we finished with a better overall record than projected, and almost exactly where we were predicted both nationally, and in the SEC. If that disappoints you, find another team to cheer for. We don't need you.It's actually a fair question. We lost 4 games all year. If you are concerned, that means you expected us to lose 2 or less. Is that reasonable? I guess that's what is up for debate.
We are very good and can compete with any team in the country. Now, let's see if they can do it during tournament time.
