They're the only team I have left in the final 4 but I did pick them to win it all. The West and Midwest side of the bracket was so much stronger top to bottom that the East/South side. I couldn't believe how lopsided it was.
It had the strongest resume of the 1 seeds with Kansas. And it wasn't close. They played 24 (17-7) Q1 games. The only other 1 seed that came close to that many was bama (18). KU actually played the same amount of Q1 games as bama played Q1 and Q2 games combined.
UCLA and Texas were 2 of the hottest teams in the country coming in. Both of which, imo, had a stronger claim to the 1 seed purdue was given.
The ACC reg season champ and tourney runner-up Miami as a 5 seed, which I feel like most people thought was 1 seed too low coming in. Now everyone knows it. Should have been a 4 seed ahead of Indiana, Tennessee, and UVA...especially UVA (how the fvck did they get a 4 seed?)
It had Gonzaga as one of the 3 seeds. They had a legitimate claim to the 2 seed that Marquette got.
It's 6 seeds, TCU and Iowa St., could have won the SEC regular season and tourney championship. The Big 12 really is THAT good.
It even had an Arkansas team, finally healthy, that was a pre-season top 5-10 team.
The committee fvcked up royally with the bracket this year, imo.
