Unreal

Paraphrasing the line from "Tin Cup" that the douche, villain ex-boyfriend says to Kevin Costner at the end:  
"I gotta hand it to you. When you go down, you go down in flames."
Except unlike that underrated film, there was nothing remotely admirable about this swing and miss. The Cards went down, and we went down ugly, embarrassingly, unfathomably. I wish there was another way to spin it, but truly there isn't. Most likely, this signals the end of our season.

Not our tournament hopes, per se, though those also hang perilously. But to any hope that this team had a formidable run hidden in them. A loss to Marquette on the road is no shame. But to lose in this fashion, with our key leaders serving as our anchor? At this point in the season, you may as well start playing taps.
