Since 2000, 35 out of 96 one seeds made the Final Four... what other sport exists where a top 4 team routinely wins 85-90%+ of their games yet only has a 36% chance to make the semifinal? |

So therefore the tournament is a completely random series of events. |

I've always seen rival fans around here cry about KU's NC count, not so much KU fans (not saying they don't exist)... my question has always been if they should have more, how greedy should we be? I'd think maybe they should have won one more in all these years... not really a big enough deal to just make believe the difficulty of the tournament. The funniest part about using UConn as an argument that it's not a crapshoot is they were a 4 seed last year and a 7th seed the time before that, and a 3 seed before that. I think the biggest hang up is this black and white world where people see "crapshoot" and make believe it's "a completely random series of events," when nobody is saying that at all. I don't think there are any other leagues where someone would just shrug if the 15th best team won the NC while no team better than that even played in the semifinals. |

Big blow to Kentucky’s HC search.
All of their top choices have rejected them… Hurley, Oats, Billy Donovan and now Scott Drew.
