Well, I got my wish for every team I picked for the Final Four. With basketball, it's all about match-ups. In a single elimination tournament like March Madness, there's a lot of luck in who you draw. When you have a good team in a particular conference, the other teams often target you by adjusting their style accordingly-- not vice versa. That's why by the time these top teams get to the tournament it's really not a surprise to see them get knocked off.

If I'm Calhoun, I'm asking myself what is was about the Terps that enabled them to beat both MSU and NC. Likely they shot the lights out from three point range while those teams went inside. UConn will stop an inside game unless you have someone to handle Thabeet. That's why NC with a physical guy like Hansboro makes me scared of them. But that also makes NC vulnerable to Nova. I was just too chicken to pick them.
