It is true, it's the NCAA tournament. There is no greater crapshoot in sports. And KU has been fortunate several times.

I'd like to see your evidence it was better than the Big East or ACC. No way in hell. I doubt it was better than the Big 10 although that one might be closer without looking up the data. I'll stipulate that a conference's quality is more than 1-2 teams doing well in March (that's what the SEC homers argue), but you have to do something in March to be considered a great league.

Since 2008, the B12 has ranked among conferences 1st, 2nd, 1st, 3rd, 2nd, 6th, and 2nd in terms of average efficiency of all teams (KenPom), an average ranking of 2.42.
The B10 over the same time period was 5th, 5th, 4th, 1st, 1st, 1st, and 1st (2.57).
The BE was 4th, 4th, 3rd, 2nd, 3rd, 2nd, and 3rd (3.00).
The ACC was 3rd, 3rd, 2nd, 4th, 5th, 4th, and 4th (3.57).
The P10 was 2nd, 1st, 6th, 5th, 8th, 3rd, and 5th (4.29).
The SEC was 6th, 6th, 5th, 7th, 4th, 7th, and 6th (5.86).
Please stop trying to diminish KU's accomplishments over this time period. What you're saying makes no sense. Other than the B10 in recent years, the B12 has consistently been as strong a basketball conference as any in the country.
