The one seeds have a real chance of all making it to the final four. UNC vs Louisville - Carolina is playing great ball and should be the best bet to make it. Louisville is playing great ball, but UNC is better. KU vs Davidson - This sounds easy, but Davidson is playing some great ball. I expect KU to win, but this still could be a great game. UCLA vs Xavier - I keep thinking that UCLA has no business being here at this point but they keep winning. Should be a great match up. Memphis vs Texas - Quite honestly a toss up. I truly believe that Texas will win, but again I think the FT shooting will be an issue for both teams. Who ever makes them will win. In the end we could easily have four #1 seeds in the final four.
They all keep blowing them up, but IMO the worst of the No.1's is UCLA. Digger has been blowing on the Big East all year and they get 8 teams in and only 1 left in the Elite 8!
I was getting ready to post...we're the only 2-Seed still alive. If you had all 1's vs. 2's in the Elite 8, you'd have 5 teams right and we're the only 2. Obviously we were right there with the 1's when the seeding was done. Hook'em!!!
I don't know how often all four #1 seeds have made the Elite Eight, but I don't see them all making the Final Four.
Well, UNC and UCLA are both in. I just don't see Kansas losing which means the odds are in our favor against Memphis since four one seeds have never made it to the final four. I have my tickets!!
Thank God Dick Enberg isn't calling our game tomorrow, or he would be reminding everyone of this every five minutes.
A Final-4 of UNC, KU, UCLA, and Texas would be incredible. Although when I look at these teams, I have to think "one of these teams is not like the others".
So basically, at this point, Texas will almost certainly have to beat three #1 seeds in a row to win the national championship...
Lazy- When you say one of these teams is not like the other- do you mean teams as in a collection of talent this year, or do you mean teams as in Programs? If it's the latter I totally agree, if it's the former I believe you aren't giving us enough credit- there isn't a team in this land that has beaten more quality teams then the university of Texas. We had a rough patch where we essentially lost 5 of the six games we were to lose over the course of the season in a 10 game stretch, but other than that we've been dynomite. Obviously, from a program standpoint (historical) the only way we belong in the same sentence with those other schools is to say, "Texas is certainly no UCLA or UNC or KU" I'll take our time in the Rick Barnes era and put it up agains the entire nations and only be jealous of about 6 or 8 schools. I'd say we are the best team in the nation not to have won a title in the last decade.
