Message: [QUOTE="OrangeDW, post: 1698576, member: 2458"] I guess in terms of the Vegas favorite going down in round 1, it is. However back when we lost to Richmond, Arizona lost to Santa Clara, etc...I think those were bigger upsets. Back then, the top teams were better than they are now and the weaker teams were worse than they are now. There was a much bigger gap. Things are more balanced now and while I'm surprised when upsets like this happen, I'm not shocked. Regardless of who was the Vegas favorite, everyone knew it was completely wide open this year and that none of the top teams were that great...which is how it usually is now. Which is why we get things happening like scrubby .500 UConn teams winning it all against mid major Butler teams. [/QUOTE]
