2 of the 4 losses are games we should have won. New Mexico and SMU.

When was whether or not that loss was bad even a question?
It wasn't a bad loss when it happened and it continues to not be a bad loss.

ISU is a good program...pretty sure they were top15 preseason and have only gone up.

Was never a bad loss. Following it up with losses to New Mexico, SMU, and Kansas State while playing atrocious defense is the problem.

“Bad” may have been too harsh, was expecting to be more competitive.

Gotcha. I think that significant of a loss could also show how good ISU is, which would further show how the loss wasn't ever considered to be 'bad'.

I think many in the thread took 'bad loss' to mean what it usually means in college basketball- a loss to a low rated team that will come back to haunt you during selection time.
