Maybe not "all," but I remember a growing bunch of people who thought that the record didn't match the quality of play. I was one of them, and I think
SoBeCuse was another.
The team was playing to its level of competition after the Duke game, we had ugly wins against NCSU and Clemson, Baye was hurt, Cooney was seemingly doing nothing right after his one-man win against Notre Dame, defenders were cheating against C.J.'s left hand and increasingly shutting him down, and Ennis was way less effective distributing the ball while continuing to slow the pace which (in the opinion of some) allowed some mediocre teams to hang around. For the first ten or so conference games, that didn't bite us. With BC and Georgia Tech and NCSU in Greensboro and Dayton, it bit us.
I don't know what all was wrong, but that team was so flat for the last six weeks (ironically, the Duke game in Durham was maybe the best performance) and there were definitely some people here concerned about the regression even during the streak.
