I do get that and I really don't think I'm being an apologist for this team, BUT the UConn 10 point loss was nothing concerning. No 2018 loss was to a team as good as that UConn team and we were down Lofton.
The Dayton loss was bad, but they are not the typical A10 team. Their size and athleticism is more like a Big East team than A10. If they hadn't lost those three awful games to start the season, they'd be ranked. We did play poorly, but still don't think we are better than UD regardless.
VT game left me baffled. Whether you think this team is good or not, you don't lose by 40 points. Solomon era teams don't lose that game by 40.
