Lamar Stevens finished 7 points shy of being the all time leader in state penn history. That’s awful.Feel bad for all of the seniors. Especially ones like Lamar Stevens and Yoeli Childs, who never played in the NCAA Tournament, and came back to school mostly to get the opportunity of playing in the big dance.
Looks like the scales are tipping in favor of Dayton. I'd say that's probably accurate. Obi Toppins don't coming walking through your door very often. They never lost a single game in regulation this year. Weak schedule? Sure. But, they were really, really talented and could compete with anyone.

Has any previous team been #1 in all analytical measures before?it's Kansas as they were unanimous #1 and #1 in every analytical measure. That of course does not mean they win it but they were the most likely winner. Sure Dayton & SDS had a real shot at the final four, but we have seen small schools make the final four without any long term bump but adding a championship especially for a blue blood that has an obvious shortcoming on number of titles is the biggest impact, imo

I will say FSU and Dayton. I think they are the true title contenders that won’t see odds in their favor like this for a long time. Baylor is consistently pretty good. The other teams I don’t think had much of a chance to win the whole thing
All the smaller schools having their moment in the sun. There is always one or two that surprises people. Some of theses schools are all a town has. Teams in the P5 conferences always have a chance.Lots of historic seasons are coming to an end.
They have been pretty good lately. But they've never been higher than a 3 seed. And they haven't been to the Final Four since 1950.

No way on Kansas. We know Bill Self would have gagged somewhere along the trail.
ehhh. Same as Cal, he probably would have blown it.If he won the only final four with all four one seeds, he sure as hell could have won this. And probably would have.

*insert facts of life theme song here
And in 50 years from now when they reach those heights again, the nation will still not care about them at all.bullshit. Kansas will probably be #1 again at some point within the next few years, probably sooner. They'll be a #1 seed again and again. They'll be favored to win it all again. Dayton and SDSU will most likely never reach these heights again in the next 50 years.
Your post is complete crap.

well, history don't lie
Is Cal better or worse than Self at recruiting, developing and blowin it in the NCAAT?Cal would, sure.

Self has done the same with less over a longer period of time?
Is that a compliment or insult?
* He's actually done less with less.
I just love the Cal vs Self comparisons-----embarassment of riches. They have both underachieved per letter of the law but you cant put pen to paper what happens when underdogs line up against a titan like Kansas or UK. Add in crowds that 99.9% oppose the blue blood----it gives teams what seems like super powers in the NCAA tourney. With the teams that UK/KU have had and come up empty---of course it should be better--and that is what makes the tourney the best thing on the planet. People that dog on these two would hire them at their schools in two shakes of a lambs tail. I prefer selfs style of play much more than Cals, but I'm sure the opposite is true for UK fans. If we won the title this year it erases most of the trash talk against self. One single title by either changes the conversation.Is Cal better or worse than Self at recruiting, developing and blowin it in the NCAAT?

MSU
It felt like Winston was poised for a big postseason run. He’s got that March magic feeling. MSU goes from getting to see that to having Foster Loyer at PG.
I'm ok with all this including, I much rather have Cals style over Self's. Holy f*ck that seems miserable.I just love the Cal vs Self comparisons-----embarassment of riches.
