That's a pretty wild theory imo. I think a much more accurate take is that we were favored to win in all the tournament games that we ultimately lost, and that fact sucks. I certainly understand that expecting a 100% win rate in such games is completely unrealistic. It's hard for me to ignore/write off the fact that we've failed to beat inferior teams in all of our KO games; it's not like any of those teams were head and shoulders superior to us. I just want us to play up to our potential in the tournament. I truly believe Barnes would have at least one or two more tournament victories if we had.
^^^^This is a better take. If you are always getting beat before you face a higher seed, then of course you won't face one. I guess we could celebrate the regular season accomplishments to look on the bright side, but that also tells us we are falling short in the tournament. Some of it was putrid play and not being able to hit the bottom of the ocean like FAU. Some of it was the other team was hot like Purdue. It's the FAU type performance that bothers me especially after seeing the team have problems with some of the same guys inability to score. History tells us what to expect when you have most of the same team that produces like they've produced in the past.
