Yes but everytime that happens-go back and check the roster. Almost always you'll find a Senior/Junior dominant team with a bunch of experience. Yep VCU fits that mold exactly. With the NBA Draft taking the best players from the super powers it evens the playing field

nonetheless, pretty impressive being a #11 seed. That's what makes this tournament so great. The big conferences fall. Out of 11 teams, the Big Least didnt do so hot.

Sure wish they would adhere to the NFL rule in terms of the draft.

FInal will have winner of VCU/Butler vs winner of Uconn/Kentucky/UNC - no chance for an all mid major final.

Not shocked Kansas lost at all. The teams from the big conferences are always overrated.

Plus, Kansas basketball hasn't been the same since their athletic department consolidated their font.

KU's top 4 players or so are upperclassmen.

On another note, how many of these Kentucky players wouldve been Memphis players ?
I will not make age an issue in this campaign. I'm not going to exploit for political purposes my opponent's youth and inexperience.

It is kind of funny that Kentucky made the Final Four a year after five first-round draft choices left Lexington.

Do not forget that these kids all played AAU ball against one another, know one another and the intimidation factor is pretty much removed.
