You are ignoring A LOT. 
To start:
• that teams can play at different levels / momentum, spurts, slumps / during a season
• that opposing coaches scout us and made adjustments to both our play and our personnel. Do you mean to tell me that teams knew Lydon was going to be good early in the season, or that they don't now know that they have to plan for him? 
• Lydon was decent at center early. Now he's being exploited. The novelty wore off and was exposed as a liability. 
• our freshman shooter is not consistent. Surprised?
• Howard missing entire games and perhaps not being whole when he last played, on an already thin team... on a team on which he appeared to have displaced the incumbent, more experienced PG — that should be considered a "real injury"
• I don't think calling those two teams "top 25" is statistically significant. They were at the 'bottom' of the top 25, in a season that hadn't yet told us anything. Them being top 25 is not much different than us being #16 the week after we won.

Yes, we have sucked under Hop. But comparing JB's record to Hop's this year is silly. You need to find other ways to evaluate them.
