    I can't say I speak for the mods, but we need to throw a temporary moratorium on mentioning that school up north. There's much bigger fish to fry with a Final Four spot at stake tomorrow.

    Yeah, I'd rather focus on what's really important.

    Make it permanent. I would be glad if this Xavier board was rid of Dayton Obsession.

This is a Committee issue as the teams they beat were all materially overseeded."

    Lol. If 32-4 Arizona was a 5 seed, I'd LOVE to see the teams above them on the 2, 3 and 4 lines.
    Wow. That's about the most idiotic thing I've ever heard. So...obviously it's from a Dayton fan.

    Kansas beat 16, 9, and 4 seeds.
    Gonzaga beat 16, 8, and 4 seeds.
    Xavier beat 6, 3, and 2 seeds.
    By seedline alone (and the fact that we didn't play any upset winners) ours was going to be the toughest on paper. It's not even close. My guess is if you disregarded seeds and just looked at rankings (RPI, KenPom, take your pick) it still won't be close.

    Here is a great one from the Gonzaga board

    While I agree that X has been playing well. They haven't played anybody as good as the Zags. I know everyone wants to be an anylist but this one to me is simple. This team is not going to be denied. They are way more talented than X and they will beat them. Yes they beat three good teams but the Zags will be the best they have played in this tourney. I think it's close for a while but in the end the size will wear them down.

    I bet they are a very annoying fan base. Can't base them all on this comment but something tells me they are very Daytonesque and feel entitled, I guess kind of like us, ha.

    Reality is, that may be accurate. In a lot of games they play, the game is close until about 10 minutes remaining and they pull away. Only thing I disagree is the "way more talented" part. They very well may be the best team we play in the tournament.

    Makes me wonder how many games they'd win in the BE?
