It’s indisputable that luck plays some role.
Hell, look at the 2022 Kansas team. Creighton lost a star right before playing us. Nova lost a star right before playing us. Even Bacot got hurt against Duke and played injured against us.
Cuts both ways though. Simien getting hurt in 2003 probably cost us a title. 2014 was wide open for Embiid to take over that tournament too.
