It’s an impressive run, but also likely aided by inflated seeds that help them

They’ve gotten to the Sweet 16 eight times in a row. But four of those times

Like you said the run is impressive. Not sure their seeding has been inflated.

Duke and UNC have each done it 9 times in a row. And both have a natty

Hard to underachieve when nobody wins as much as you do.

The best team in the nation the last 5 years has 0 titles? Hardly.

Compare that to Duke - always gets high seeds. Doesn’t always make the sweet 16.

You want to give them a trophy for beating 8 or 9 seeds?

No. I want to give them credit for making the Sweet 16 eight years running as a

No animus. Just acknowledging the reality that their unique situation gives them

Um, we never beat 8 seeds consistently.

Um, nobody is claiming we’re as good as Gonzaga.

Many don't think they are true #1 or #2 seeds, so the competition should be closer if that is accurate.

Haha. The comparison is between Gonzaga and all other teams in the tournament.

The Gonzaga 11 seed in 2016 was impressive too. They beat a red hot Seton Hall

I agree and am not taking anything away from that year.

Would be ironic if they did. Clearly not as strong as some previous teams.
