You must not watch a lot of basketball, because losses like tonight are not uncommon at all. I can name many worse losses from top perennial teams in college basketball than what the Zips had tonight.
This loss doesnt mean anything at all in putting us in a much tougher position. 11 seed, 12 seed, 13 seed; who cares. Seeding doesnt mean much, even less this year with the parity in college basketball. Its more about what team we draw and how we match up with them.
