I think y'all experience in these close games will be a blessing. Teams like Duke have played 2 close games all year, while y'all played 2 a week and managed to win the majority of them.fukk the NCAA for making us play this 30-4 UCSD this team won't go away

Baylor over Miss St (hardly an 'upset')
I have UNC beating Ole Miss (these mid-tier SEC teams were all overrated af, benefiting from the extremely good top tier teams)
Xavier vs Illinois could be interesting. Illinois inconsistent af.

Winning a title is hard as hell, you have to win 6 games in a row on neutral courts in different cities. One bad shooting night and you're done, some cac scrub on the other team hits 8 threes you're done. Mark Few as well coaching in an era with Coach K, Roy williams, Jim calhoun, Tom Izzo, Jay wright, bill self etc. etc.
Even a great coach like tom izzo just has one and that was 25 years ago

Oh I agree. It's extremely difficult. I'm giving Few hella props b/c all those other teams have missed the tournament (Duke, UNC, Nova) or lost in the first round multiple times (MSU, KU, Duke, UNC).
9 Straight sweet 16s is pretty wild
And he's doing it at Gonzaga...a program he made. They're only "major" in name b/c of him. They don't have the revenue that less successful programs like Illinois or even Marquette have, yet the Zags routinely out recruit and out perform them.
