It was not likely that we were going to win the national championship, so "that game" had to come sooner or later. The way basketball is structured, most of the teams are going to end the season on a down note. (One of the wonderful benefits of the tournament system.) We ran into a good team. Not the best team in the Big 12, but not one of the worst, either. And the Big 12 is the best conference in the nation, according to the rating services. And Georges Niang is probably an All-American. Even a good Sun Belt team generally will have problems with that situation.
Speaking for myself, I will not remember that loss very long or very much. It doesn't matter too much at this point. There were four other losses this year; this just happened to be the last one. It is the thirty wins I want to remember.
