As someone who has experienced it as a fan (UK basketball) and at the high school level as a coach and parent (state championship game), there is nothing worse than losing the title game. At the high school level we did follow up the next year with a title, but you still never get over being that close and not sealing the deal, no matter who the opponent is. I’d rather lose tomorrow night.

I'm usually with you but I have NO idea how anyone thinks that. That's 1% away from saying if I don't win it all I'd rather not make the tournament.
I'M IN IT TO WIN IT.
No way I will ever process losing at any point is better than winning more games.
