You're kinda cherrypicking results to fit your own narrative, as well. 37.5 minutes of good can be canceled out by St Johns. Where did we finish in the conference? If Louisville didn't have a hooker problem, would we have been in the tournament at all? And, we didn't "lose" our coach. Under our coach's watch, we got penalized. For the second time. I would not call JB a victim in the matter, even though i do believe the penalty did not fit the offense. Either way, it was of his own doing. We had the same conference record last year as the year before. So, it's not as if we can really claim that we suffered so much from JB being out. And we have yet to win an ACC tournament game.

"Terrible?" No. Up to (what should be) our standards? Again, no. That's the thing about tournaments, though—neither of those two games/scores is predictive of advancing once you're in. But, yeah, if i had to assess how good of a team we actually were last year, it would  not have been "Final Four Team." But, i don't need simple answers.

It's cool that you have indiscriminate 'love' for the program. But, it doesn't make anyone a 'bad fan' for feeling deeply when we lose. The day before the game, people here were talking about us as if we were a super team. So much talent, so much depth. TV dudes said JB said this was his "best team(?)." You'll have to forgive folks for not feeling super cheery after we got socked in the mouth by a non-premier team (who did play premier defense).

It's not over. These are real feelings after an impactful day. The only thing wrong is expecting everyone to feel the same way.
