They want no mid-majors in the final four they put Kentucky there becuase they were the anti-witcha state and them putting Louisville as a four seed as a backup plan to knock out WSU just in case
The "intriguing matchup rumor" before the tournament was that UK-Memphis would be the 8-9 game. I'm assuming that Memphis fans still despise Cal. That would have made the regional even more awesome. Still, the whole idea of freaking UK getting to play the role of the scrappy underdog is laughable.
And don't worry about the football playoffs. The "little guy" will most definitely NOT get the same chances to slay Goliath that the basketball tournament offers.
I think most would have Darth Vader coaching your team.
I am calling BS. If Wichita State wants to win a national championship, they have to play with the big boys instead of the bush league teams they play during the regular season. Wichita probably shouldn't have been a #1 seed, but if they weren't, with their undefeated record, then everyone would be complaining about that.
