The wins against New Mexico and Kansas were fantastic, but at the same time very frustrating because they showed what that team was capable of doing and yet that team finished one game above .500 in conference.

I dunno how impressive those games were. New Mexico was KenPom's #31 team and we beat them by 5. A nice win, but hardly the type of transcendent performance that makes you think, "NOW WHERE WAS THAT ALL YEAR?"

Kansas was seemingly much more impressive, but they were missing the best player in the country.* That's a significant blow.

* (Look, Joel Embiid was the best player in the country last year and would've been the #1 pick if he weren't injured.)
