The Gonzaga game was as far from a win as possible.
A&M should have won about four different times. UTEP is beating NMSU at the moment, and SFA had a big win for them last night against Long Beach St. But yeah, it was a bad weekend for our opponents.

Exaggerate much? I'm pretty sure they beat us by no more than 70.
Speaking of SFA. Their RPI improved from 83 to 77 and that was before last nights win was tabulated in. Long Beach State has a winning record and that should bump SFA to the low 70's. If they win out they should be comfrontably in the 60's.
They weren't a bad loss. Just a loss. Arkansas is currently our bad loss.

Yeah...the crazy thing to think of with regards to our losses:
Five losses against top 15 teams (4 of those away from Lloyd Noble):
Gonzaga
@KU
@KSU
KSU (by 2)
@OSU (in OT)
2 ROAD losses against teams with a combined 30-1 home record:
@ISU
@Arkansas (who also destroyed Florida at home)
Our "worst" loss comes to a 23-3 team with the top-ranked scoring defense in the country:
Stephen F. Austin
While we don't have enough signature wins, none of those are losses to be upset about.

I think either SFA or Gonzaga (due to its sheer magnitude) is our worst loss. Only Syracuse has beaten Arkansas in Fayetteville. None of them are bad, though I'd only classify the OSU loss as a good one. The other ones are just run of the mill, good teams losing to other good teams sorts of things.
I was only speaking in terms of which of our losses was to the team with the worst RPI. I just checked and SFA is 69 and Arkansas is 77. Arkansas is our bad loss, but in terms of "BAD" loss for tourney purposes, we really don't have one.
