Message: [QUOTE="caw, post: 4598297, member: 563"] They aren't exactly wrong. There are very few "good" teams this year. Or rather a lot of good teams but no great teams (UConn excluded). They beat Drake who was no better than Iona, considering the coaches I would put my money on Iona, though Drake is pretty similar. Then Indiana who was probably the weakest four, and pretty comparable to SMC in terms of any metric. Either way a five vs a four. Highest seed either could play. Both good, or decent teams. Then they got an overrated Houston team who's PG was playing with groin injury and at best only 90% of his normal self. Not to mention this fantastic win was against a team who beat SMC by 5 this year and lost to Bama. Better than Arkansas, but nothing special either. Then they got Texas without their starting center. Gonzaga is at least as good as Texas without Disu. Three of the four teams in the final four have been lucky with major, or minor injuries to other teams to some extent. Whether it was UCLA's, or Kansas. Houston, or Texas. Marquette, or KSU. Lots of those guys kept playing but they clearly weren't 100%. SDSU has gone through a pretty healthy bracket but then again Bama was playing with their moral issues and Zona had a PG with his head up his ass half the year. Seriously though it did look like Nembhard may have tweaked himself in the game before Creighton fell apart. All that said Miami has been the second most impressive team in the NCAAT so far, behind UConn. Teams just can't stop them from scoring (aside from Drake). They have ended up with large scoring margins against two of their opponents and had huge comebacks. Their offense is impressive. They also have given up a ton of points to teams not known for their offense. [/QUOTE]
