This sentence is just all over the place.

What does Top 25 in offense have to do with various projections of only winning 11 games?  It seems like a disjointed argument.

I mean, our awful ISO offensive team made the tourney last year.  And faltered mightily because we had to play a "shooter" against a pressure defense, and that shooter could literally do nothing.  It happened.  Sometimes offensive prowess is a bit more involved than eFG%.

This team may not make the tourney.  Our top 25 offense, in what everyone pretty much on planet Earth is calling the worst season for college hoops ever, is still fairly well positioned not to make it.  Defense, like it or not, does have some tiny little role in basketball.

This is all the "I like to lose pretty" stuff I think most fans would prefer to just reject altogether as it still involves losing.  If we don't make the tourney losing pretty, but make the tourney losing ugly, I'd take losing ugly.  I suppose we'll see how it all shakes out at the end, but calling anyone obtuse at the end of this post seems misguided.
