I do not agree that something short of a Final Four is a major disappointment.  That is letting your expectations get the best of you.
 
This team has a great record, but it has been winning several 50/50 type games.  The benefit of doing that is a good seed come tourney time and an easier route through the first weekend.  After the first weekend the benefit of the seeding and winning the close games earlier becomes less of a factor.
 
This team has been flawed from the start.  No true PF and unproven 3 pt shooters. JB has tried to prime XMas - but he doesn't look ready this year.  And for 3 ptrs JS has disappointed.  Relying on KJ is risky.  And our guards are a little weak in the 3 pt area.
 
The disadvantage of playing above your talent level during the season, are the increase odds of not performing to the given seed come March.  Making a Final Four would be great.  Being majorly disappointed in not getting there seems to be raising the bar a little too high.
