Regardless of seed or "S-Curves" you have to have some luck to win it all. Few teams go all the way, without one or two of the major hurdles cleared out for them by an upset or two. SU in 2003 is one of the rare exceptions in that SU had to run the gauntlet of top seeds. Of course, we had the benefit of playing in Albany and Boston -- an advantage that lots of other teams, namely Duke and UNC have had over the years by playing in their back yard to help them advance.
 
And bad luck can play as big a part as good fortune.  The committee screwed SU last year by putting Marquette in our group.  That was unprecedented, and worked to our disadvantage.  We had already played them, and they were very familiar with us.  I hated that we were the first team to every have that happen to, but of course, Marquette could say the same thing had they lost.
 
I will watch the selection show with great interest and excitement. But regardless of our bracket, I'm hopeful we get some help along the way.
