Welp, my chances are shot. Never a good thing to have a championship game pick lose in the 1st round. Thanks, Arizona.

I seem to pick them every year for Final Four and they continue to let me down. I suppose the NCAA is happy though...no way they wanted Sean Miller anywhere near the Final Four this year. They will probably breathe a sigh of relief once (or if) Michigan State loses as well

Arizona has such a checkered NCAA history. They've won the damn thing and been in the finals twice. Been in the Final Four at least four times and the Elite 8 at least double that.

But looking at their track record they've been knocked off by double digit seeds a BUNCH.

Last year, lost to #11 Xavier as the #2 seed.

But when you go back a bit, and where a lot of us probably formed this opinion, you get:

1999 - #13 Oklahoma over #4 Arizona
1995 - #12 Miami (OH) over #5 AZ
1993 - #15 Santa Clara over #2 AZ
1992 - #14 E. Tenn St. over #3 AZ

Keep in mind, they won the damn thing in 1997 and lost to Duke in the final game in 2001. But, man, I can't think of another top tier program that has shit the bed so spectacularly on so many occasions. It's weird.

The headline in 1998 at the student newspaper was great...it was something like Arizona Prevents Threepeat

I had Kentucky against Nevada in the Elite Eight in this Swamp bracket and that doesn't seem so crazy any more. Kentucky and Nevada would both be big favorites in the Sweet 16 if UNR wins.
