...As a UK fan, of course it was disappointing to lose the title (very much so), but it was an incredible ride. And as an opposing fan, it makes no sense to argue that UK failed because they should have won a title with so much talent, whereas a less-talented team (for example, Louisville) succeeded because they overachieved based on expectations. The goal for all top programs is the same. Sure, a loss at the end of an "overachieving" season may feel better than a loss when you are the favorite, but in terms of evaluating the season and the program, all that is basically saying is that one team succeeded in putting together a title contender while the other failed in doing so.
