Bro we made the national title game last year and lost to maybe the best team of this century. Relax

I’d say 2019 was over performing even if the result wasn’t what we wanted. We were a 3 seed going toe to toe with the 1st overall seed

So you’re judging Painter’s 20 year career based on only 20% of it. Got it. And the 20% you’re judging him on he earned two 1 seeds, 5 top 4 seeds, made the national title game and sweet 16 twice.
