Ask and you shall receive....
Absolute 'toughest conference since 2004', yet fails to produce a team in the finals? Had the overwhelming favorite and number one seed, yet that team is ousted prior to the Final Four? What are the chances? In addition to the overall number one, had a team seeded two with the least difficult path to the Final Four and that very team sets the record for greatest margin of defeat ever at that point in the history of the tourney? Seven teams, seeded one, two, three, four, five, six and eight from this decisively better than anything or anyone else league and nothing to show for it now?
Why is it that the rest of the country is not in the least surprised?
