In 2012 we [B]won[/B] 3 games by a [B]total of 4 points[/B].  Your telling me we underachieved and should have won more games?  Clearly we could have lost 3 as well.  It's not my opinion that we underachieved, we lost some games we could have won and we won some games we could have lost.  We ended up with the record we deserved and played to.

Not only did we win 3 games by a total of 4 points but we almost lost to Stony Brook, the game was 21-17 at the end of the 3rd quarter.  Against Temple we went down by 10 in the first quarter, at the start of the 4th quarter the game was 24-20 SU.  Even in the Cincy game we dominated the 2nd quarter but the other 3 quarters there was a 1 point differential.

So no, I don't think we underachieved at all.  The team was exactly what it's record was.  And I never suggested or implied there is no such thing as under or over achievement.  I stated in my last sentence that was possible in 1 or 2 games of a season where you could suggest that.  But if you almost won 3 games but just as easily almost lost 3 games, I don't think you can say the team underachieved.  Their record was exactly what it should have been.  If any, there were more than 3 losable games in that season.

Why the hell are we talking about 2012?
