RRed is human? Who knew?
Agree the Cavs fans had no idea how to react. It's like they didn't think it was real.
In addition to what you mention, I think a major factor is the talent-drain at the NCAA level which has become drastic in the last few years. Good freshmen are sure to leave. Improving sophomores are sure to leave. The sport is bleeding out and the only thing covering the wound is a used 'Hello Kitty' band-aid.
My UVA hatred aside, let's be honest, UVA wasn't a real 1-seed. Can you imagine the *gag* Laettner-led Duke teams losing to a team like UMBC? Think about that the Augmon-led UNLV teams would've done to that UMBC squad. It would've been criminal. Shiiiii, what would Lethal Weapon 3 have done to the Retrievers and they were a 4-seed?
People talk about parity but it's out of control and it's just plain awful for cbb which is the first sport I ever grew to love(). I gotta log off ... it's a little dusty in here.
Not a real 1 seed? They went 30-3, 17-1 in the ACC, won the regular season and tournament, and was one of the best defensive teams in the last 20 years. They were clearly a one seed
