To be fair is there a big difference between being a 1 or 2 seed either? Why does the top 4 matter honestly?I know this question will illicit the knee-jerk reactions of “Of course!”, . . theres debates over who should be a 2 vs a 3 seed, etc. But if you belong in the championship, you’ll win your way there if you are champion-potential, IMO.

That discovery re-hashed a lot of pain for Arizona. We knew we were cursed but damn, that's a terrible percentage.Crazy that UVA has 7 1 seeds in program history. I mean lesbihonest. We are not on par with those other programs who have earned that many 1 seeds. I kinda figured we’d have the worst final four percentage but Arizona doing the lords work for us
