So much talk about how "lucky" we were this year to win so many close games, and how that likely influenced our seeding. No team wins 100% of its close games in the regular season without demonstrating uncommon poise and resilience, but even putting that aside, it's as if the value of those wins has been discounted to the point where might as well have lost 3-4 of them. Pretty sad that we've gotten to the point where teams with more blowout wins but also more losses are valued more highly than a team which just wins consistently......
