So you disagree with my "Take"?
Our D has been pretty amazing. Only the Cats and the 1-seeds have played a 16 and an 8/9 (well, except for Virginia, ha). In those first two rounds, here's how they compare in points allowed....Xavier: 79Virginia: 74KU: 69.5Villanova: 59.5KSU Cats: 51Obviously points per possession would be a better metric but I couldn’t easily find those stats offhand.
Xavier: 1.05Virginia: 1.19KU: 0.99Villanova: 0.91KSU Cats: 0.77
A uniform rendered in the world's most accursed color is bad enough. But when you throw in purple tights, purple socks and purple sneakers, that's a surefire ticket to the bottom of this list. Sorry, Wildcats.

in the end, EMAW will always win.

Bilas bias and he's factually wrong. TL;DR: we're the worst team left standing and it's not even close. http://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/22847978/bilas-not-revolution-unprecedented-happening-ncaa-tournament-sweet-16

No team benefitted more from UMBC's win, as Kansas State had to beat only an 8-seed and a 16-seed to reach the Sweet 16. That is unprecedented, thanks to the UMBC upset of Virginia.
