its pretty cut and dry - huskies lost to the cougars at home - what part arent you understanding or are you in denial?
Most people would probably agree that a team ranked 10 (even though I would agree they are overrated at 10) does NOT 'suck' when there are some 180+ D1A basketball teams out there. Sometimes people just look at the small picture i.e. the teams they see on Sportscenter, the teams they see on national TV all the time.
This team is not great, nowhere near as good as last year. But they will make the NCAA Tournament, and please do not say that they suck if they make the tournament because then you clearly have no connection between this program and the not so distant past, and would sound really really spoiled.
They're making the tournament, please indicate whether you feel they will make the tournament so that we can have a discussion that is not centered around the definition of the word "sucks"
