Kansas......State (not exactly a blue blood loaded with nba talent)

So they are a pretty good team, and they deserve credit for that.

And I'm not saying theycouldnt have won any of those games(especially purdue who they match up good with), but that was the difference between a game they were a huge favorite in(against FDU) vs a game against any 1 seed they would have been clear underdogs in.

I think Kansas State had a real good team. FAU should get to the finals and maybe win. I hope so. Time for a first timer.

like that, are the same people who downplay UCLA's many titles because of
the smaller field. These folks like the large field but only if the right
16 make it through.

OTOH, UCLA's championships came when the tournament to them was sort of like the way the Winbledon tennis championship used to be. The defending
champion plays one match only against a player who had to advance by playing 6 matches against a field of the best players in the world. UCLA's
regional regularly had teams like Seattle, BYU, OK City, Pacific, Wyoming, Weber State, New Mexico, Santa Clara, Long Beach State, etc. These were not
powerhouses at the time, and the games for UCLA were more like scrimmages. Only one good team appeared occasionally in the West regional, San
Francisco. UCLA a few times had teams that were probably among the best of all time, but not every year, and they would not have had the run they had
without the benefit of such a weak regional combined with what teams in other regions had to go through. The very year that was changed was the very
year UCLA's fortunes changed.

Another thing you have to remember is, most of UCLA's titles came
when at-large teams were not invited; you had to win your conference championship to get in. If this was still the case, UConn wouldn't
have made the tournament. (Miami might have; I don't know if the ACC
had a conference tournament to determine its tournament qualifier
back then.)

Yes, it did -- another thing conspiring to keep UCLA winning
championships. (The powerhouse team that won the regular season was
often knocked off in the tourney.)
