Not really. Everyone in this tournament has really good players. The seeds sometime don't matter. You have to get lucky and play well to advance unless you just have overwhelming talent over the opponent. Cincinnati doesn't have that level of talent which is reserved for the blue blood programs. It sometimes is a curse to go in as the higher seeded team.

UC may not have blue blood talent but neither does Nevada...
UC may not have the talent to win the whole tourney but...
UC's players were good enough to win this one.
They had a 22 point lead. A 22 point freaking lead.
To lose up 22 they had a meltdown of historic proportions.
I think we'd all be ok if we got beat by a better team.
Was Nevada better?
Or were they better coached in the second half?

Every loss they take from here on our, a good chunk of the fan base is going to take it out on Mick. Even more so than before. How do we come back from this? I don’t think it’s doable as things exist now. And for that I say NO, it is not worth it.
