mthoopsfan said:AZGrizFan said:Griz were 6th in conference. That is an undeniable fact. The losses that led to that standing cost them multiple home playoff games. So yes, while they backed into the playoffs, their regular season performance cost them a deep run into the playoffs by having to go on the road. Anyone who doesn't see that is a dumbass or a troll.
No one disagrees with what you said. However, finishing 6th doesn't undercut or demean what the Griz accomplished, i.e. making the playoffs, getting a home game, winning a playoff game, and being ranked 14th in the nation. Why can't you see the big picture? Are you a dumbass or a troll, or both?
Point being, if they’d finished 4th, or 3rd, or 2nd or god forbid WON the conference they’d have had MULTIPLE home games, got a weekend off, gotten a seed, had an easier route, gone deeper into the playoffs and been ranked much higher than 14th. So it’s not the “6th place finish” thats the point…it’s what comes WITH that 6th place finish.
