Agree but the most important thing was the team absolutely needed a win. Build some confidence and belief for what is going to be a rough remainder of the conference schedule.
We Won A Game!

I also think psychologically a win changes team confidence and (I hope) result in trust in each other, more sharing of the ball and maybe listening to Sha’s play calls.
I know it’s only DePaul and I don’t think weve ever celebrated a DePaul win.
But with this group, the mental side is just so huge. Especially pulling out a late win.

Losing is contagious. But so too is winning.
Sometimes a shooter playing poorly just needs to see that one shot go in to change his confidence level.
Your point is valid so let's see.

I’ll have some fun with this one for argument sake.
In the 2015-16 season. It felt like we had locked up a bid by beating #5 Xavier at the Rock to get to 21-7 overall. Blitzed them from the start, crowd was electric coming through the TV, one of the best wins of the Kevin Willard era.
But then a loss at Butler followed up by the road finale at lowly DePaul. Felt like we needed to take care of business to not put ourselves in jeopardy of losing 3 in a row (potential loss 1st round BET) heading into selection Sunday.
So after winning 80-66, I had a big sigh of relief and celebrated knowing we would be dancing for the first time since the 2005-06 season.
