It doesn't. Getting a #1 seed and then losing the first game after four previous, consecutive one-and-dones makes you hands-down, no doubt about it, chokers in the extreme.
Take the WC win and celebrate it, FFS. You haven't had one since January 6, 1991. 1991!!! How the hell does a bye and sitting around waiting for football top that?
