Your comparison was the difference in losing to New Mexico vs losing to San Diego
Then you said "and worse", comparison over and you are on to talking about "big non-Gonzaga" wcc wins which outside of St. Marie's is like a unicorn. They are teams that we should beat every time.
Interesting you chose New Mexico for your comparison. Currently are ranked 111 Pomeroy which would be fourth in the WCC. Much better than San Diego at 210.
