"Before 2013 Wichita State, the team with the most fearsome slate was Marquette in 2003, the No. 3 seed in the Midwest regional. Not only did Dwyane Wade's team have to defeat two of the three highest-rated teams in the country that year (Pittsburgh and Kentucky), they also kicked off the tournament against an abnormally strong 14 seed, Holy Cross.

Yet there are so many here that refuse to even recognize the accomplishment and dwell on the loss in the Final Four. Sad.
I think we do.
It's just after seeing the competitive Final Four games of this year paired with #1 Indiana's inability to break the Cuse zone, it makes me (and others) wonder: with so much time off between games, why couldn't Crean plan better? MU to make the run the way they did and they get embarrassed on national TV like they did...by HALF OF the first half...it just didn't make sense but it made a lot of disappointed and angry fans.
