I understand he can leave the premises when a resume of the Tar Heels is going to be brought to the table, but I'm sorry. This, again, is the biggest miscarriage of justice that I have seen in nearly 20 years covering college basketball at the national level. My heart breaks for Darren DeVries in West Virginia. My heart breaks for Indiana and its fan base.

But again, North Carolina is going to get an opportunity here in the first four to do some major things in this bracket if it can beat San Diego State coming up here on Tuesday night.

Yeah, it feels like in a lot of areas of the bracket, we did not have a compass and there was no rhyme or reason in a lot of things that were going on. I thought for certain that Gonzaga would have been better than an eight after it beat St. Mary's in Las Vegas last week in the WCC tournament. But I'm with you, Kat. I think there's a lot of different things that really stood out here.

Another thing that stood out to me, and I wasn't surprised about this, I felt with the way that the selection committee had treated the Mountain West last year by putting two teams into the first four in Dayton, that Boise State was vulnerable by not winning the automatic qualifier on Saturday, and that's what came to fruition.

Xavier had a pristine resume in quad three and four, and Xavier also, we have to remember – lost two games in December without Zach Fremantle in the lineup, who was a 17-7 guy at UConn in overtime and also by a basket at home against Marquette. As you guys know as well as I do, and we had heard this when we spoke to Bubba Cunningham, I believe on Friday,

Player availability matters in the NCAA tournament when you're evaluating teams. If Xavier obviously is going to have Zach Freeman on the NCAA tournament, which it will, it's going to be a much more formidable team. I think that is one of the biggest reasons why the Musketeers are going to hook up here with Texas in the first four on Wednesday.

And you guys know I've been doing the first four now for a number of years. We have never had brands like this in the big games in the first four in terms of you know, games on back-to-back nights, North Carolina and San Diego state have appeared in two of the last three national title games.
