For TOB idiots who talked about "this isn't the path" every time we lost a winnable game the last month...

Any one of those games would have negated last nights loss being the proverbial final nail.

Ridiculous how many easily winnable games were excused this way because we weren’t “supposed” to win according to the metrics.

Cam has screamed about numbers all season. We were favored in each of our last 3 games and lost all 3. Shut the fuck up about metrics. I said on TOB I felt we’d finish 6-5 after the road Pitt game and was met with “are you sure about that? We’re favored in most of the games down the stretch, no way that happens”.

Just an epic collapse after finally making Lunardi’s magical cut with the Duke win.

Yeah. It's almost like the whole court storming thing turned into a Duke curse on wake. OTOH, Duke put it behind them quickly and are now going to play for the ACC championship. I bet we won't see any court storming in the NIT. Sigh...

All of the expected win kenpom nerds got shut the fuck down this season. Win some games, quit talking about predictive shit who gives a fuck.

Just really hard to accept the excuses that we didn’t have enough talent this season given that we pounded many of these teams at home. Obviously players are responsible as well but this was a huge missed opportunity. I’m sure Forbes and staff feel the same. Seems like most agree next season will be an inflection point.

I agrew with you, I don't get the talent excuse
 
Me Tuesday night: This sucks. I need a new hobby. I am out.

Me last night: Bart Torvik gives us a 44% chance if we beat Clemson. Let’s run some ACC Tournament scenarios.

Torvik really wants us to root against Southern this week. Their two games are listed as most important outside of the Clemson game.
