I think at least at the level of the NCAA tourney you need to accept the win and advance mentality applies to the officials too. Doesn't mean next year someone who got out early can't keep going, doesn't mean because you've been to a final four the year before you can't have a bad day and get sent packing.
Reality is that every 2 rounds you need 1/4 the number of officials you started with. Not everyone can move on . . .
Just like you favourite team they might deserve it but didn't produce on the day .
