Wow, you got me by a few years. Wooden teams went undefeated in 72 and 73.

And the point being made is upsets happen every year in the Men's tournament. This is the first year ever that high seeds in multiple regions made it to the Sweet 16. All but one region has the 1, 2, 3 and 4 seeds advance. The other region had a 5 beat a 4 seed. That happens almost every year in women’s basketball or the final for has mostly top seeds. Not very common that a team not expected to make the Final Four or from a mid-major conference makes it to the Final Four or Regional Championship. If UConn wins the NC this year, it will be the 4th time in recent history that an undefeated team wins the NC. That has not come close to happening in over 30 years on the Men's side. And it never happened in the current seeding structure. When Wooden was doing it, they did not have to beat teams from other regions to make the Final Four.

Once again, very little talk about the actual games or plays, just a debate about relevance. If you have to talk about relevance and not the game, that proves the point I been making all along. And if you do not want people to comment in that way, just post a thread about the game and leave it at that.

Peace
