I was more talking about the randomness of the tournament itself. We've seen it ourself - if a guy likes Tony Crocker gets hot, you go home.

Once the Tournament starts, conference affiliation doesn't matter - and Calipari has 4 FF's and 1 title in the last 6 years. It doesn't matter who came from the harder conference - ask VCU and Butler. Everyone is 0-0. Ask Duke about Lehigh. Ask Missouri about Norfolk State.

You are right about that. I loved seeing Fair, Triche, Roberson, etc for 4 years - I believe that's what  makes college basketball special.

I loved getting someone like Lydon who flew under the radar, but it stinks missin on guys like Ron Patterson and Kaleb Joseph. Perhaps that's what makes getting a guy like Lydon even better.

Let me ask you this - would you have taken Quade Green, Hami and Nick Richards next year? Of course you would.   Calipari gets whoever he wants every year and UK is a perennial title threat every single year - whoever wouldn't sign up for that is crazy. I get he's slimy, and I get that he's a used carsalesmen, but let's not act like UK hasn't been impressive since he's gotten there.

I want to win titles. Stories like Brandon Triche and DaJuan Coleman are nice - but if you'd rather have a good story than be in the Final Four every year, I don't know what to tell you. People act like we'd turn down having 6 5*'s come here if they wanted.
