This is a good summer topic and has been one in the past...
So many memorable cringeworthy moments in the postseason.
Was only 6 when Smart hit the jumper, so can’t really claim that as a personal disappointment.
The Arkansas loss in ‘95 was tough to take - had them beat and had a very good team, in my eyes.
Michigan State during the ‘99-00 season in Sweet 16 with big lead was disappointing. We win that, we have a shot to win the whole thing (which MSU did).
Winfred Walton not qualifying was disappointing. He was supposed to be the next Derrick Coleman/John Wallace. Him, Ramel Lloyd & Lasean Howard were all disappointments.
Arinze & Fab situations are Top 3 in my eyes. Both years we had the goods to win it all. And even without Fab, that Ohio State game was disappointing and right there. Damn refs.
Sanctions & Fine situation, Hopkins leaving, Bazley not coming. All in there somewhere. I would also add the Dayton loss in the tournament with Ennis/Grant/Fair. We go from undefeated and #1 in country to bounced in 2nd round by an A-10 school. Yuck.
