SF Austin was KenPom #263

It's weird that if you think of the first few lines of One Shining Moment, it perfectly describes the last ten seconds of that game.

THIS IS WOJOS FAULT

Thanks madden 

Where did his post assert Brett Favre is the greatest quarterback of all time?

THIS IS WOJOS FAULT

22 turnovers by Duke tonight...definitely Wojo's fault

[Cheeks]

Since Evansville's win at Kentucky they are 2-3...one of the wins against a D2 team, the other in OT vs Morgan State.

More ammo for the projos as they now have another game to reference if MU underachieves this season.

The projos? 😂

[Silent Verbal]

Duke started, what, four freshman and a sophomore tonight?  I'm sure their fans are upset, but the one and done model the program has embraced allows for early season clunkers like tonight.

Is the opposite of a Projo a Nojo or a Woejo?

Go-jo

Upsets happen.   Disappointing losses happen.   Every coach and program in the history of basketball has had them.  What makes anyone think Marquette should be immune?    What makes anyone think Wojo is impervious?   Of course there are going to be sloppy losses.   It is the nature of the game.   As are irrational fans after these losses.

When was the last time two #1 teams lost AT HOME to a mid-major school?

Honest question. What defines a mid major?  Is it any D1 school that is not in the Power 5 + BE +AAC? Or is it more refined?

Oh boy.  We have this discussion every off-season so I'll try to summarize.  Anyone not P6 (Beast, ACC, B10, B12, Pac12, SEC) is technically a mid or low major, because they play in a mid or low major Conference.  Just because you are a mid or low major does not mean that you can't have a quality program.  Duke technically lost to a mid major last year when they lost to Gonzaga in Maui.  SFA is obviously a much worse quality program than that.  Some people may tweak this methodology to include AAC and select outliers (such as Gonzaga) , but that should be a fairly basic baseline statement.  We can have the full discussion again in April.

Losses suck even though we know they're going to happen. There's nothing irrational about being upset after a loss or finding things in the coach's gameplan that seem to have contributed to the loss. Monday morning quarterbacks are nothing new. It's a pretty regular part of sports.

It might actually be more irrational that you think fans won't care about losses than fans getting upset about losses. Ever thought about that?

[Its DJOver]

Complaining about upsets after they happen is perfectly valid.  The Murray State game has been beat to death all summer.  Complaining about upsets before they happen is just complaining for the sake of it.  We will probably get upset this year, we will definitely complain when it happens.  We will probably upset someone this year.  Just a hunch, but the praise after that happens will be less than the complaints after the unexpected loss.

I don't think anyone is upset about complaining after losses or criticizing a coach's gameplan. I think it's the declarations that the season is overt because of an early loss

Or the people that declare the end is nigh and when we win, they are never here....like cockroaches they on,y show up in the darkness.

Dayton looks damn good in Maui.

Certainly one of the biggest upsets of the season was last night's win by Stephen Austin over Duke (in overtime) at Duke.
