Message: [QUOTE="BuffOrange, post: 206507, member: 1643"] I dunno man. I'm not naive enough to think 19yr old kids don't watch sportscenter or anything. But they also know it's a single elimination tournament. By the 2nd weekend they've all had 4-6 days to hear everyone from Scott Van Pelt to Charles Barkley talk about this awesome/scrappy/athletic/lights out shooting team pulling off a big 2nd round upset. I think that prevents a favorite from "getting snuck up on" more than the amount of college gameday blurbs in January. Besides I don't think either of these teams this year is any more hyped than Butler 2years ago, who was on tv a bunch and ranked in the top 10 at one point. As mentioned the advanced metrics rating systems seem to think a lot more of Wichita than Murray. [/QUOTE]
