Good luck picking the final four. Heck, almost any 4-team combination of the top 25 teams could be in the final four. I don't ever recall a year like this, no dominant player nor any dominant team.

(35,438 posts)At the 11:02 mark of the 1st half, ND scored 1 point. That's right over 9 minutes, and they scored one point. At the 7:08 remaining in the half, they'd only scored 3 points.
I turned off the game, and woke up this morning to learn that ND won the game, 51-42. That game is perfect example of what I mean by whacky.

The slow defensive types such as Butler during their back-to-back appearances are well suited for tournament play, especially in situations where they are true underdogs.
