Just goes to show ya, you need "luck" to get to the final four...whether that be bad calls, a bracket buster team clearing the way, a collapse, a once in a lifetime hot shooter, an injury or a weird defense etc.

By all rights Illinois shouldn't be there and Louisville and Michigan state were serendipitous at best. NC eased their way in IMO...but they just as easily could have lost to 'Nova if Sumpter wasn't injured...ah the luck of the "injury".

If any of the teams win it all I dunno how that could be called an upset. Rankings are pretty arbitrary these days.
Illinois is favored but Arizona had them whipped so I expect anoth final four team could do it.
