Until they seal the deal, even once, they're a tease.  The Duke comparison is on the money, if we're not considering actually winning a title.

Kansas is who you want to be comparing them to. They have been a 1 or 2 seed like 14/20 years or something crazy with Bill Self. They have 1 title. But even still, Kansas is getting bounced as a 1/2 in the 2nd round routinely. Gonzaga as a top 4 seed has only underperformed their seed 1 time in the last decade...when they lost in the Elite 8 as a 1 seed to 3 seed Texas Tech. They overperform more often than they underperform. 

Roy Williams didn't win a title until he got to UNC. Bob Huggins had the top team in the country multiple times and never sniffed a title. Took Calhoun nearly 15 years to breakthrough. It's so fucking hard to win a national title in basketball. Much, much harder than any other sport. 

ND went cold and TT lived at the line and TT moves on.

Bad news for Duke….liked the ND matchup way better.

ACC looking better than SEC

Had a heck of a time at the OSU game even though we lost. Highly recommend buying tickets right at tip. Got lower bowl for $43 plus fees.

Who’d you use to get tickets?

How does one team shoot 42 free throws and the other team shoots 12

Going to be hard to rely on that next round

Edit: though they play a 15 seed….their regional final won’t have that

Effing late games

I thought TCU was fouled….if not I think his foot touched mid court line with about 1.6 seconds which would’ve been over and back and Zona ball

TCU taking bad shots now. Gonna get waxed in OT

FFS the TCU trainer doesn’t know how to stop a nose bleed?

TCU getting hosed

Great effort by Zona but also lucky AF

My bracket saved but TCU just blew this.

Zona is really good….but TCU messed up a switch in regulation with 12 seconds left for the tying 3

Sitting courtside it was really bad. 

Whoa….would’ve missed several of those

Can Duke pull it out tonight?

5th foul on Chet was trash. Complete garbage call

Arkansas was the only team that I didn’t think had a chance 🤷🏻‍♂️

So was the 4th. Completely changed the game without having his shooting and defense.

They can. 

Kinda rooting for UNC tomorrow…..I think everyone knows why

Will anyone watch the Final Four if its Purdue, Arkansas, Houston, literally anyone but Kansas from the Midwest??

Duke/UNC and Duke/Kansas or Villanova….let’s set up these high ratings games

I think these matchups would make for a great Final Four:

West: Duke

East: UNC or UCLA

Midwest: Kansas

South: Villanova

Still could be neat with a Providence/Houston FF. Both would have great storylines and then the winner potientially moving on to face blue bloods Duke, UNC, or UCLA.
