It's notable the people who rush in merrily to gloat when we lose.

Not entirely true…but the Barnes hype post season needs to chill out some…😂 we’re like the dodgers in the post season…all I’m saying.hopefully we get a favorable bracket but I highly doubt we do..they love seeing us lose.

Mids are teams who we would face in the first and second rounds of the tourney though? State and A&M are both around that 7-11 seed range

Mids in nothing games.

Nobody gets pumped up vs mid opponents. But tourney time, there's no choice.

And at most we'll play...1 team in that range? We've whipped a ton of them this year too, gotta avoid that 10% type of bad game

That's true but one loss is all it takes to be eliminated.

I do hope you're right that the team will be pumped to play against this same caliber of team again. Rick made it sound as if the team wasn't very motivated

Well we were already the champs.

Hard to see the motivation to wanna go play 3 more straight games after all that.

MM will always be a total luckbox. For every team. But this team is built as well as almost anyone to do major damage.

This is just TAMU loss 2.0.

Mashack told Knecht "I don't care if you don't shoot another shot, you have to guard bro."

Then Mashack himself scored, I think, 7 of his 10pts like back to back to back. Getting to the rim and pulled up for a contested 3. Really liked that. Dude is a competitor.

Where did you hear that?

He should have shot more imo. Second-guessing themselves and looking to get the ball to double- or triple-teamed DK is not a good look.

The only silver lining about that game is we seem to have one of those in every tourney. I'd rather have it in SEC than NCAA....

I'd rather lose this round than win the SEC Tourney again and injure our star player on the way there. Not sure if Chandler was 100% in the NCAA Tourney or if it made a difference but either way.

How does Arizona pass TN up [for the 2 seed in the West]? Arizona had worst losses.

UNC had worse losses and worse wins, too! We were the 1 seed over UNC by a hair at the end of the regular season, according to the metrics, so they changed the "policy" on the spot to include the conference tournaments. Our seniors are the same guys who were told that conference tournaments don't count two years ago -- but only after they had won it. I wonder if that affected them. They looked down.

Anyway, in the Arizona case, they want to let Arizona stay in their region. Isn't that special? So they shaft us that way. 😂 Except for that, both we and UNC would have been in the West as the 1 and 2 (one way or the other), based on the merits. And all this drama would have been short circuited.
