Do some of you truly believe VCU is playing like the 40th best team in the country at THIS time? What happened previous too the tourny means absolutely nothing.
OK, let's look at what they've done since the tourney started then.
They beat...
- A USC team that finished middle of the pack in the worst BCS conference, was also a last 4 team in, and ended the season with 15 losses
- A reeling Georgetown team that had lost 5 of 6 heading into the tournament
- A Purdue team that had lost 2 of its final 3 games (to freaking Iowa and a 20 point loss to Michigan State), and that had just suspended its best perimeter defender for the tournament, and
- A a 10 seed in double OT
They aren't playing like they're only the 40th best team in the country, but I'm not quite blown away by what they had done before today. Purdue was a good win, but still not a great one, and the other 3? Please. An 11 vs. 11 match up, an 11 vs. 10 match up, and a match up against a team that wasn't playing like they even belonged in the field.
Kansas was favored by 11 in this game for a reason.
