Ya said it yourself, they were an 8. So they had enough talent to put a run together in the dance. U do realize it’s never the four “best teams” in the final four right? They stayed number one for a few weeks looking like dogshit vs mid majors. They had no reason to be ranked one after those first 2 games. There’s only one reason why they stayed there. And what I said about Bilas and Vitale is absolutely true.
