As it turns out, we would have been much better off losing the BET final and getting a 2 seed instead of a 1. We couldn't handle the pressure of being a one seed. We managed to fulfill all of the predictions of the "experts" out there who said we would be the first #1 out of the tournament. Very embarrassing for our program and the conference. When the conference's best team, by a pretty wide margin, loses to the seventh best team in the ACC, that speaks volumes.
