The Big Ten and the Pac-12 are the first two Power 6 conferences to drop. Couldn't make it past the third round. The Big Ten with 9 teams, Pac-12 with 3 represented in the tournament.

It really has been a wide open tournament. ACC has bragging rights.  Please Arkansas, knock off the Dukies!

ACC is guaranteed in the Championship. Now it's just between the Big 12 and Big East to decide the other side of the matchup.

Really hate a UNC-Duke semifinal.  The Final Four is another example of the blue bloods dominating college BB.

I mean, UNC was an 8-seed... What's so wrong with them getting there?!?

Last year’s Final Four was great because all were from West of the Mississippi River.  I prefer Carolina to Duke for certain.

Game may be a let down after tonight’s epic between Carolina and Duke.

Shooting 60% from the line is pretty hard to overcome in games like that...

Anyone think UNC will actually win? I really hate KU but I'm not seeing it

Yes. KU has looked pretty average this whole tournament. Maybe its a matter of them "playing down" to their opponent's level, but UNC's path to the NC has been a lot harder and they've looked like the better team.

I haven't studied the bracket (mostly because I can't be bothered to care) but the total seed count of all of Kansas' opponents leading up to the final game has got to be one of the highest numbers in the history of the tournament for any finalist since the expansion to 64 teams.

Really? A 16, a 9, a 4 and a 2 is pretty much exactly what you'd expect.

 

1 seeds are supposed to get easier paths than 8 seeds like NC.
