Sorry, I can only give it an A, like a 96.

We shared the B12 with f'in Scott Drew and Baylor after just needing 2 wins in our last 3.
Bill Self didn't win COY.
We lost to unranked Dayton ( not a foul tho ). We lost at home to Kentucky.

Sorry CR.

A+, 100, is perfect, which would mean yes, you would have to go basically undefeated to get that.
17-1 kinda deal in the B12.

If I was a teacher/professor, there has to be an absolute top mark that is very tough to reach.

well, we'll disagree on this then.

Id say 4 times in 83 years is a high enough bar to set the curve

Thank you, DMac for an amazing end to the season. You have my utmost respect. (Not that he is going to read this, but anyway).

this team gets an A for finishing the season the way they did.

but yeah, A+ on an entire season is perfection shit, and this team as a whole was far from that.

We started March by getting our asses kicked by unranked TCU.

Our noncon included all of one ranked team in UK, who completely blew us out - at home!

Our biggest wins for the regular season were...Baylor and Tech? Both teams we ended up splitting with.

And just generally we weren't a dominant team, weren't considered title favorites until the cruel mistress that is the tourney finally let a few breaks actually go our way for once.

meh, fuck it. This team looked like yet another second round upset waiting to happen, but fucked around and ended up winning it all anyway.

A plus!

I start my A+ range at 98%, so it doesn't take "perfect" to achieve it while still making it incredibly difficult to attain.

This season was like a student who gets high scores on all their major exams but generally still doesn't seem to have a mastery of the topic of the class. A+ achievements for the overall record; the Big 12 regular season, the Big 12 conference tourney title, the Final Four and the national title. A "homework score" of a B for the ass whipping Kentucky put on them and generally looking like a second tier contender for a chunk of the season. Overall I'd give the whole season about a 97%, as close to an A+ as a team can get who aced their big tests but who looked like they had no clue what they were doing for a bit.

But my enjoyment of the season and their accomplishments are an A+ for sure.

After the loss at TCU, this team really locked in and played with a chip on their shoulder for the rest of the season. Overall, I would give our performance for the season a B+

so you guys are the kind of professors where nobody gets an A in your class?

somebody has to set the curve. Who had a better season that would warrant dropping our score to the 88-95% range?

Compared to this student’s traditional performance.

We’re like the perpetual honor student who just kinda stumbled through the semester at a B-or-so level until we aced the final that was worth like 90% of the course grade anyway.

Several of these posters haven't received an A in a class since Shapes.

I loved when a college professor announced that an A+ was a possibility in their class. Not a ton did. Challenge issued and accepted. I just wish that an A+ would have counted more towards your GPA than an A did.

I gave KU a 96.
That's as high an A as you can get without an A+.

I never tried for A+s anyway. C's get degrees.

Never had an employer check my GPA or ask for it during the interview process. But then again, I am not a doctor or something similar.

Sure.
2008.
3 looses? Two of them on the road to ranked teams? Two of those looses by one possession?

Won B12. Won B12 tournament, convincingly, against the 2nd best team.
Beat two no. 1 seeds in March Madness.
Crushed Kenpom to the moon.

Probably a 98.

what was this team's grade up until the postseason?

We finished 2-2, including loosing double digits to Baylor and TCU, a grindout W against that same unranked TCU, and squeaking out an OT senior night against Texas...
