Even the third - that team was 14-0 in tournaments, with 11 of the opponents in the top 25. Yeah, the Big East ate our lunch a bit in the regular season, so you could consider it to be a bit lucky that we put it together in March. Having a FF with Butler and VCU in it was a bit lucky too. But Kentucky is the one fanbase that can’t complain about that. They were there too.

The fourth - yeah. We were a 7 seed and won that one a bit out of nowhere. And being able to play in msg was a break. But Florida could have put an end to the lucky run and we outscored them by 25 after the slow start.

Easy to say we were lucky in hindsight, but going through it, facing Kawhi, or an Arizona team that rolled Duke, or a Cincinnati team that knew us, or a Kentucky team we thumped the first time, or Martelli, Wright, Izzo, Hoiberg or Donovan, or another Kentucky team on its own magic carpet ride, I never was like “wow! What a break!” (Even Butler in the finals had been there the year before, but granted I’d have preferred an 8 seed over many alternatives).
