I agree with a lot of that, with respect to Wisconsin. They have experience. But hey also don't have a lot of highly-recruited players. Mostly 2- and 3-star kids. What would he score have been if that were reversed? JB with 2 and 3s, and W with our level of recruiting?

And then, there's the interesting matter of how each of us assess our Final Four appearance—especially last year's. Yes, it's The Objective. Some of us seem to use that to represent how good we actually were. Others see it as having been a 'found gem.' A beautiful treat. Or, like 'dressing up a white t-shirt with a gold rope chain.' We were average in conference. We didn't win a single ACC tourney game. We barely made it into the NCAAs. We didn't beat anyone particularly impressive until Virginia, and that only happened because one kid did something entirely unpredictable and bizarre... sooooo, one game. Wish I knew how to predict which way a person would think of something like that...

Who WERE we? A 'final four quality team,' or a team that 'made it to the Final Four?' Some will see no difference. Some will not care if there's a difference.
