All fair points - but you're giving way too much credit to a 7-10 seed. Louisville will probably be a 4-6 seed, Georgetown 2-4 and Florida 2-4. This is far better than anything on that 8-9 line. I agree that this could be a problem in the Sweet 16, but generally all the bad teams are gone by that point anyway.
 
I also don't get why you - correctly - discount the Florida win to some extent while not at least partly writing off the Notre Dame loss. Against Notre Dame we had a 7 point game late and couldn't get over that hump. Fab is a huge part of our defense and I don't think Cooley would have been able to run quite so wild had Fab been there. I don't know that we would have won, but it certainly would have helped. 
 
The team looked absolutely great against UConn in the last 7 minutes and really really good before those 7 minutes. Aside from the first four minutes of St. John's, that entire game was played at a high level. And while not even average, St. john's is definitely not one of the dregs of college basketball. 
 
You see a team that struggles, I see a team that scratches and claws and figures out a way when nothing is working. This isn't 2010 or 2005. Richmond and Vermont aren't on the other bench. 
 
And for those of use who are all in - I personally will worry about being suicidal when the time comes. I'd rather deal with that in a few weeks than not being able to enjoy this exciting ride we're on.
