Maybe a big difference is that Bills had a run of fantastic regular season success those couple of years.  That season they were 12-4 (?), they were a team that you expected belonged in the Super Bowl.

SU's run this season was very unexpected.   Projecting in advance, I don't think it was realistic for us to expect to advance in the tournament this season the way we played during the regular season.    As we moved through the tournament, the only game that I think that was realistic for us to expect to win was the game against MTSU.   The whole run was exhilirating as a fan because the team out performed expectations!!   Expectations for our teams are typically high, so it is difficult to outperform and we rarely have the opportunity to truly do so.   This was one such opportunity/year...and in a big way!!   The final four as a 10 seed.     We don't think of ourselves as a 10 seed, but imagine how we would have looked at another 10 seed, had they advanced in SU's place.

I hate that we lost to UNC.    When you get that far it doesn't matter  how you got there...you are so close that you want the team to take advantage of the opportunity that presents itself, and it hurts when it doesn't happen, but its hard not to be happy with just being there in retrospect.
