Louisville gets credit for surviving the loaded Midwest Regional . . . but most of the load was in the other half of the bracket. If you compare teams by the average KenPom rankings of the opponents you get, you see that Wichita State has had by far the most difficult road (as you would expect with a 9 seed):
UL 71.25 average opponent ranking (NC A&T 221, CSU 30, Oregon 27, Duke 7)
SU 60.75 (Montana 158, Cal 56, Indiana 3, Marquette 26)
UM 39.5 (SDSU 130, VCU 16, Kansas 10, Florida 2)
WSU 18.25 (Pitt 11, Gonzaga 4, LaSalle 52, OSU 6)
