That's interesting that you guys claim that you "should have" won more games because you were up by 18 and blew the lead. What about the 7 games that you WON by 6 points or less? Do those factor into your logic at all? If you're going to talk about your close losses, then you have to talk about your close wins as well. Sorry, but moral victories don't count towards your record.
If you apply the same logic, we could say that Bucknell would be undefeated if they would have scored more points than the other teams in the 4 games that they lost this season. It just doesn't make any sense, so you won't win anyone over with any arguments that you "should be" a higher seed just because you blew a bunch of big leads against good teams. Obviously you guys know more than the selection committe....
As Bill Parcells said: "You are what your record says you are".
And that's the difference between you guys and the top teams in the country....the top teams don't generally blow double-digit leads multiple times in a season....
No, actually there is only one game you guys should have won and that was against NIU. Arkansas out played UK and Bama. We made a great run against LSU and had the game in our hands. We were not able to close a game out. Some of the games we won by 6 points or so don't indicate how the game went. WE beat Missouri State by 4, but we were up double digits the entire game. We beat Texas State by 6 or 7 but were up 18 at one point. We just had a drought against Bama and UK late to lose. The games we won by single digits were not usually close, or we just out played the other team. Bama is the only game I can remember that we were out played most of the game that we won. We were down 16 with 7 minutes and came back to win.
