Anybody finding it very difficult

Very much so. Before the game I was so into the games and now it's just like, oh yeah I have them winning. Even at school it's hard not to think about the sweet 16 in our hands. But let's face it even though I/we can't, we have the worst luck.

I don't know if it is luck, poor execution or what, but our post-season record is depressing. Xavier advanced past the first round for the fourth year in a row yesterday, with some deep runs during that time. They always seem to step up at tourney time. It is frustrating losing these winnable heartbreakers seemingly year after year.

Don't get me wrong, I'm thrilled the program is light years ahead of where it was, for example, in the Dukiet days, but I really hope we can take the next step and consistently move beyond that first round. Hopefully the talent coming in can get us there.

I agree but look how many upsets and close games there are. Hell the rodents should have lost to Wofford. Unless you are a 1, 2 or maybe a 3 seed, you are going to have tough early round games because there is not much difference between say the 20th ranked team and the 40th. We have not been a consistant 1,2 or 3 seed. When you go in as a 6 it will be very difficult, you have to have some luck. We really should have lost to utah state last year. I think going forward we will be a 2 or 3 seed more often.
