Except that isn't close to true. There are plenty of games this team has lost where they've given a good effort. The KSU one in overtime for example or the San Diego game at home. They tried hard and just got beat in those games.
But there are also games like today where the team didn't try at all for 30 minutes defensively. They turned up the effort level in the last 10 primarily due to Wiggins, but it wasn't enough to overcome the early laziness.

Effort matters, just not to the degree you, fans, and the media portray it to be.

It matters a ton. WVU was focused and wanted this game in a way that KU just didn't. They showed it on the court. That ultimately proved to be the biggest difference today.
