Reductio ad absurdum! That would obviously be worse, especially if the hypothetical assumes we've already won the 6 titles and go on to lose the next 38 times we're in a title game. That would make the team a laughingstock like the Bills were for many years.
A more serious question is whether we'd now rather be 6-4 than 6-0 and I think the answer is obviously yes. That means, among other possibilities that, we didn't lose to Florida in '94 and/or UCLA in 1995 and/or Mississippi State in '96 and/or GMU in 2006 and/or Michigan State in 2009 and/or Florida in 2025 -- and instead made it to the Finals 4 more times than we have.
Going forward, I'd rather win 2 and lose 2 than just win 2.
It's insane that we're 6-0 and I'd love to remain undefeated in title games, but I'd like to be super competitive every single season, and if being a national title contender every single year means some title game heartbreak, so be it.
As for the notion that every loss is the same, that's truly ridiculous. This program had a gigantic monkey on its back before it made its first Final Four. And the only thing that we lack compared to the other top programs is Elite 8s and Final 4s. Obviously those are exponentially less important than titles but they are still very important factors that people use when determining a program's place in history.
One other note to add: MCBB is not MLB. In MLB, you have 30 teams, a handful of which have a relatively gigantic payroll, and there are fewer rounds to get through. In MCBB, it's a gauntlet. Some people don't seem to appreciate how difficult winning titles back to back -- with two different rosters -- was.
