Yeah, UNI was really effing good.



They won 30 games and the MVC, which is pretty effing good.  I don't think it's even debatable whether KU had the hardest region last year, with teams like Michigan State and Tennessee both making the Elite Eight.

why would this be a talking point?  they didn't make it to the actual good teams in the league.  it could have been the rest of the number one seeds crammed in their bracket and it wouldn't make sense because they didn't make it far enough to play the hard teams in the bracket.

Not that it matters, but I don't get your point.  Didn't two teams make it to the elite 8 out of every region?
Matter of fact, I think Tenn and MSU were 2 of the 3 lowest-ranked teams in the elite 8.  I'm puzzled.   :confused:

K-State had the hardest region, actually looking back it looks like KU had the easiest region by far.

Of all the 1 seeds, Syracuse had the toughest bracket. National championship runner-up Butler as a 5 seed. You really can't say what the toughest path for a 1 seed is before the sweet 16 because none of them have to play anybody good before they get there.

What doesn't make sense?  When the #5 and #6 seeds in your region are good enough to make it to the Final Four, you've got a deeply talented bracket.  The Midwest region also had the #1 overall seed in Kansas, and arguably the #2 overall seed in Ohio State.  It was the toughest region by far.

Northern Iowa was a good team, steve.  I don't know why you don't understand that.  KU was a really good team as well... they just had an off-shooting night in a tourney that's single elimination.  It's the nature of the NCAA tournament.

It is so hilarious to me that somebody is debating that a bracket that their team got knocked of in the second round was the best in the tourny last year....your team didn't get to the part of the bracket that included the good teams you are harping on.....it's like, wow, people think things like this.



Northern Iowa was a good team, steve.  I don't know why you don't understand that.  KU was a really good team as well... they just had an off-shooting night in a tourney that's single elimination.  It's the nature of the NCAA tournament. 

Did UNI win another game in the tourney?



No, they lost to Michigan State, who went to back-to-back Final Four's.

And then MSU lost to Butler who then lost to Duke, making Duke's regional the toughest in the tournament.  Problem solved. 

Now let's break down another tournament regional from the past.  Hmmm...how about the '89 Midwest?  GO.

I get it... you guys are required to disagree with KU fans when it comes to everything.  It's okay.

All I'm saying is that the hardest regional is usually the one with the best team. The best team won the championship.  I will disagree with anyone that doesn't think that way, not just ku fans.  Please don't flatter yourself.
