Self pretty much inherited a bunch of All American/ All Conf. players that had tons of tourney exp. I don't think comparing eachothers first 5 seasons can tell you much. |

Call me an innovator, but I bet you could talk about a game 30 hours before it happens in a thread that isn't an "official game" thread. |

Who has UNC played that's KU's level? Duke? Surely not. Clemson? Hell no. |

But, I digress. Kansas earned the game against Portland State. UNLV/Kent State was expected. Villanova was not, and Villanova didn't really do anything to get to the SS. Davidson has earned their spot in the EE, and they are hot, fearless and very dangerous. I personally would rather play them over Georgetown or Wisconsin because it'll be more entertaining, not because I fear one over the other two. Quote:
Well, I'm off to see the Brigade... I heard they gave up 90+ points last week. :doh!: |

I don't really think there is such a thing as an easy road to a final four. If a lesser seeded team wins, doesn't that mean they're playing pretty well right now. Once you get to the 3-10 seeds, it's all pretty even anyway.
It's pretty clear at this point that Davidson is a very strong team. They played right with UNC, Duke, UCLA and other major conference teams, have played great in the tourney. I don't think it's comparable to some of these surprise miracle runs... they didn't just skirt by and get hot in the tourney, they blew out their conference.... had a lot of 20-30 point wins, just like a team like KU or Georgetown would probably have in their conference. I expect KU to win this game, but you'd have a hard time convincing me Davidson isn't as good as any 3-5 seeded team in this tournament. They just didn't get that kind of seed because of their conference. |

And he included the 16 seed. I guess in his world being the #1 seed doesn't gain you advantages. |

Also, I just realized that in 10 years, Bill Self has more Elite Eights, 5, than the entire history of Mizzou basketball, 4. Wow.
