other than the 2012 team, agree
UCLA was a lot better than a 3 seed, I think we all agree.
UC was better than a six seed, we agree.
But Mick said it doesn't matter, after the first round, you have to beat people. DUke, UofL, and a bunch of other better seeds figured this out these past two days. Heck UNC almost lost to a very average Arkansas team. Yesterday Arkansas, Wichita St, and Rhode Island all had a legit shoot to win and all three folded in the last two or three minutes. Point is, once you get out of the first round its WW3.
For the most part UC has not been able to win games like last night. And this goes back to Huggy bear days too. Only difference is, in Huggs day we were a 1 or 2 seed a lot and still lost in the freakin second round. Mick does the same thing with 6, 7, and 8 seed range teams. Either way, we just don't make deep tourney runs.
UC has been 1 and done more times than I can count since 1994. I won't go back and look it up but I'd be interested to see how many times we have been 1 and done plus lost in the first round since 1994. Bet is would shock most here.
