You mention upsets being good, yet their bad. You mention Georgetown, Wisconsin, Clemson, and Vandy yet you say Kansas had the easiest road. If Wisconsin had won, you wouldn't have said the same thing you're saying now. Clemson was talked and talked and talked to beat KU and then couldn't make it out of the first round. Vandy didn't last. And, yet, KU stomps on the team that beats Clemson, yet we've "had it easy".
Georgetown loses to Davidson and then Wisconsin loses to Davidson. Great story. Unless you play Kansas. Then it's "Kansas had it easy".
All of those points have nothing to do with the fact that when we play UNC we have to come to play. It just seems you're trying to knock us before we've stepped on the court by pointing at the supposed "cakewalk".

I don't think you understand in the tourney many times the better team doesn't exactly win. You think Gtown and Wisc would lost to Davidson on a consistent basis? I don't and I know you don't but thats the thing about the tourney it's a lose one and done format. Which is fine, but all I'm saying KU didn't exactly have to play the tough teams they probably should have played. Not saying it's their fault which you seem that I am going that route. Kansas hasn't played a team all season that is at UNC's level. Not only that but UNC is playing their best ball at the best possible time. There were only 2 teams in this whole tournament I was scared of. One obviously is UNC and the other WAS UCLA, but they have just been playing like shit. Playing a 16, 8,12 and 10 seed on the road to the final 4 is a blessing in KU's favor. Self finally gets the monkey off his back for not being able to make a final 4 (granted they win tomorrow). I just don't think KU has really played any good teams on the way there.
