Looking back at Virginia's season, I don't think any of us would want or be happy with that type of year even though for 99% of the season, I'm sure their fans were ecstatic. Sure, it must have been great almost sweeping the ACC, winning the ACC Tourney, and only have a couple losses, but losing in the first round of the NCAAT the way they did, pretty much throws all those accomplishments in the crapper to most people.
I think most fans would rather have a season like UofL 2012 where they had many bumps in the road in the regular season, not beating a ranked team, losing at home on senior night, frustrated for much of the year, but then winning the Big East Tourney and making the Final Four.
How do you view it?
Does good/great NCAAT success wipe away all the warts of a so-so regular season in your eyes? Would you be happy with a 2010 UCONN like ride of having a mediocre regular season but going on a crazy post season run? How heavy do you weight NCAAT success against the entire regular season?
