I don’t think we can really fault a team for who they beat in the tournament, they just play who the committee puts in front of them. If Purdue goes on to win the title this year, that means they would have beaten Cinderella St. Peter’s tonight, it’d not Purdue’s fault they made it this far. I wasn't trying to fault anyone for who they play in the Big Dance. Just some games are much tougher than others and putting together 5 games in the tournament can be easier for some and harder for others depending on who the committee puts in their region. Every year we hear the educated analysts comment on who has the easiest path to the Final Four so this is nothing new. If Purdue can win tonight they will make the Elite 8 and be very happy. But if you ask Painter if he would rather play St Pete's or Kentucky, I'm pretty confident who he would answer with. I know I'm late, but if Painter thought outside the box, Kentucky. St. Peter's are playing for pride with their school. By tournament, Kentucky kids are thinking NBA Draft

As the games go on, if they win, they play better. I would much rather face a UK team in game one than in game 4.

It’s interesting how after all the “madness” with upsets, Cinderella’s, etc. the final four will still end up Duke, UNC, Villanova, and Kansas.

It’s interesting how after all the “madness” with upsets, Cinderella’s, etc. the final four will still end up Duke, UNC, Villanova, and Kansas. A combined 17 NCAA Tournament titles among them. The above phrase also applied to the 4 vs. 8 Sweet 16 matchup in the East Region.

I really don't consider Villanova a Blue Blood. Actually, in some capacity, I still see it as a mid-Major.

Hope Kansas and Bill Self win so NCAA can look like the fools they are re their "investigation" of Kansas that's been ongoing for over 2 years. Amazing that all media talking heads never mention it.

Being reported that Kansas will most likely be banned from the ‘23 tournament. So they may win the title tomorrow night and might be able to defend the title
