Would be more of an excuse if losing to good programs when depth is vital. Against middle tier MWC teams at home, it's nothing but an excuse that doesn't excuse the factors for the meltdowns. I understand the 2 extremes re BM aren't solving anything right now, but the reaction that lists excuses and woulda couldas is probably less helpful than those who demand accountability and find the same bad judgment and repeat mistakes unacceptable.
