Before the bracket was released, not sure I would have been overly concerned about any 4-5 seed in a SS game, so was thinking EE as their ceiling.... and once the bracket came out I was thinking they'd have their hands full with Auburn in the EE.
I was expecting Villanova and Tennessee to play for that region.
The defensive effort the past few weeks has been phenomenal to the point where it may not matter a ton if they have a bad shooting night, as long as they don't shoot poorly AND get out rebounded by a million. [Reply]
I'd be surprised if anyone in this thread expected to end up where we are. We've all said some dumb stuff in the thread this year. Nothing this dumb, but dumb nonetheless....

They’d lose to Gonzaga, I think. Holmgren would be a nightmare and Grady, Tyty, and Wheeler would have to have their best 3 shooting game performance on the same day.
If we somehow rematches against Kansas fully healthy, I wouldn’t expect a blowout win, but I don’t see why the result would change in terms of who’d win.

Nice isn't it!
But years from now all that is going to matter is the Championship banner and trophy at AFH and in the books.
My fear is will we get punished after all of this other crap is done?
Is the NCAA going to open the investigations on Duke/Zion and UK/Davis ?
It's not like this kind of shit doesn't go on? [Reply]
