Kinda crazy...

...but one of these 4 teams of Gonzaga, Xavier, Florida, and South Carolina, are going to play for the national championship. Now, Florida has certainly been there before but I don't think anyone would've pegged this Gator team as a title contender, especially after they lost one of their best players a month ago. Just goes to show you how much parity there is in college basketball today.

Gonzaga has no excuse to not make the NC game this year IMO

We say that but every team on their side is playing great basketball right now

I'll go ahead and say that no team currently on the left side of the bracket would beat any team on the right side in NC game.

Florida beat a 5 and 8 seed , that matters a lot

I think a 1 seed should be able to beat an 11 seed, but thats just my humble opinion

Amazing to look at until you remember that that was the setup side for Duke to cakewalk to the championship game ala 2015 and suddenly it all makes sense.....

Yeah but it's March madness. If you make it to the elite 8 you are a good team and can beat anyone. Xavier did beat Arizona

I'm not the biggest believer in the Xavier run. They lost 7 out of their last 8 before the tournament. I think theyre run ends tonight. Could be wrong though

And what about South Carolina? Playing horrible and as soon as the tournament started they are playing the best basketball now
