Let me help you out with this, junior.

You've been pumping quite often on here how any given team can show up strong and win in hoops against superior competition. It's the nature of the game. Upsets happen. What close game scores represent are those games where BOTH teams are in it late on that given night - BOTH teams showed up and kept it tight. Brad's failings are losing those games where both teams have shown up to play, at a much higher clip than his peers. He gets out end-gamed - regularly. At prior stops versus inferior coaching than the ACC produces, he fared much better in closing out games. Against higher quality coaching, he, and subsequently our Tigers, falter.

I wish it weren't the case, but herein lies a killer underperformance metric that goes a long way toward explaining our more frequent heartbreak over the years (happens), along with coming up just those one or two games short throughout a season that tank our post-season chances.
