Only thing i can think of is MU fans like a "good story" and a David(MU) Slaying Goliath(everyone they play) mentality, because it's a "feel good" story. It's about time MU fans wake up and realize this team is just good. As have past MU teams been.
It always amazes me that some fans view this team through Rose colored glasses. Nobody has ever said that this team is bad and won't win certain games. I think that most fans are realistic, see the flaws in this team and understand that it is very difficult to win on the road vs. good teams. It is also very difficult to win games against someone who is in the Top 10 regardless of venues.

This team while very good has been inconsistent and does not match up well vs athletic, long, fast paced typed teams. Syracuse and SJU fit that bill and Villanova isn't that far behind.

3-3 would be the baseline for me with 5-1 being the upper hand range.

Sorry if that is pessimistic for you.
