one side in KP has 1,5,6,26. Other side has 12,14,17,20. That's pretty lopsided I'd say.


9.5 vs 15.75

Not negligible, but the disparity doesn't warrant what sounds to me like an outrage.

And the #1 team could have to go thru the 3 best teams left to win it all.

Not really an outrage, but very notable. Especially if Miami loses. If Texas wins- the winner of the right side semifinal no matter who it is will be a fairly decent favorite in the title game I'd say.

Honestly, I would be shocked if one of uconn, creighton, or Texas don't win the title.

I'll be rooting hard for the Huskies tonight and the Jays tomorrow might. It would be awesome for both teams to play for the NC.
Xavier will surprise. Never count them out of the Dance.

I agree. In fact, I’m predicting a UConn-Creighton championship game. A path has opened for each of them and I think they will seize it!

Especially Creighton. UConn getting Texas in Houston would be a pretty tough path.

If you go by the stat of the natty being top 20 in Kenpom offense and defense, then it's UCONN & Texas. CU is 14 & 22
CU clap clap CU
