Given all of the updsets in the tournament, was the seeding off?

Or is there just more parity in the NCCA mens bracket?

Discuss.

1. More parity, imo

And the 1-and-dones prevent one team from dominating every year like the women's game.
The talent level is pretty even in the men's game and any team can win on any given day, imo.

2. I agree. There's more parity in the game. Talent is every where.

The only consistent factor is the coaching. It's not an accident that we see some of the same group of coaches almost every year in the final four.

3. one and done killed the great teams

In the old days the great teams were great for a number of years and they got all the talent. Think of MJ, Worthy, Perkins. 2 HOF's and a top notch player on one team. Now mid majors can compete because their players play 4 years and the teams with the better talent only play together for one year. Teamwork makes up for less talent.
