Even though I am a dyed in the wool Arkansas fan and usually root for the SEC teams against others, I am in 7th Heaven as the Golden Eagles did it the old fashioned way- they earned it. Wow, did they take Kentucky to the woodshed or what? Marquette had to beat the number 1 and number 2 teams in their region to make the Final Four. The only other team left which could say that would be Michigan State if they beat Texas (#1) having already beaten Florida (#2).
I do concede that the Big 12 was the best conference this year with the SEC a close 2nd. Auburn did extremely well for being the 6th best team in the SEC. MSU and Florida and the shouldn't-have-gotten-in Bama all choked.
The best thing about Kentucky losing was all the crying around here as everybody's bracket went KERPLUNK!
