How much different, though, is saying "I want this team to play better than their average for the last few minutes of a game," from "I want this team to win the Big 12"? I realize this isn't what people were saying, but maybe it's in the ballpark, and perhaps it's not all that crazy. It seems much less crazy than saying, "I want this team to win all of its games by a margin of at least 60 points."
