It is tough to make the final four. Just ask Kansas. You have to have top-notch talent, you have to be playing at the peak of your game, you have to get favorable seeds, and you need a little bit of luck here or there. Next year we will have a whole bunch of freshman. Too many freshmen! I doubt if they will be experienced enough to make a run for the final four, but I do see a sweet sixteen or so in the crystal ball...
