We dont deserve a 2 seed let alone a 1 seed. I'm sorry but Houston is still Houston, elite programs simply don't lose these kind of games. I understand parity reigns this year, but are we really surprised a Cronin led team didnt score for 10 minutes?

Well dammit... Why don't we just fire Mick, cancel all the rest of the games for the rest of the season, let some other team from the AAC go to the tournament instead of us, and just sit around smashing our heads into walls whilest bemoaning our fate?

Jeez louise. We lost by 5 crummy points on the road. Duke lost to Saint John's...IN CAMERON INDOOR ARENA...with a future HOF coach.

Duke's loss to St. John's was at MSG, not in Cameron Indoor. Just sayin'.

Fair enough, I stand corrected. But the claim that "elite programs simply don't lose these kind of games" is preposterous. It happens.
