I’d argue that 2007, 2010, 2011, 2016, and 2017 were teams that failed in the tournament. All of them were National Championship or bust teams (yet none even made the Final Four).

2005, 2006, 2009, 2013, and 2015 probably overachieved in the regular season.

2012 and 2018 probably overachieved in both the regular season and tournament.

2008 did what they should’ve done, since they were the best overall team in the nation.

2014 was a throwaway tourney IMO, since they were so dependent on Embiid. Once he was out, they were done.
I agree completely.
