Don't forget they played the mighty Fairleight ****inson too lol....

Based on the final AP Poll, We will have played #2 Houston, #5 Texas, #21 Indiana, and Unranked/#34t) Drake.

FAU has played #15 KState, #20 UTenn, #24 Memphis, and of course Unranked FDU.

UConn has played #9 Gonzaga, #19 Saint Marys, Unranked Arkansas, and Unranked Iona.

SDState has played #1 Bama, Unranked/#26 Creighton, Unranked/#33 Charleston, and Unranked Furman.

Creighton will have played #11 Baylor, #18 SDState, Unranked Princeton, and Unranked NCState.

Texas will have played #16 Miami, #13 Xavier, Unranked/#32 PSU, and Unranked Colgate.

... So Based on final rankings, We have clearly had the hardest Path of all remaining teams.

As far as difficulty: Miami >> SDState > UConn > Texas > Creighton >> FAU

FAUs side broke right for them but they won the games. im not gonna hate on their accomplishment. if we close out Texas, we will def have proved to earn this berth. we faced favorites every time unlike last years run.

UConn is the media darling and the last remaining beast in the tourney with the way they’re peaking right now. Definitely a murderers row of teams for Miami but we’ve seen what our unorthodox matchup does to teams.

And even of we didn’t have rankings, can we just use the eye test and recognize that UM has beaten really good teams, including Drake?

Last year we faced the 7 seed, 2 seed, 11 seed and 1 seed. This year we've faced the 12 seed, 4 seed, 1 seed, 2 seed so far. My point is we faced 3 favorites last year and 3 this year. Very similar run. But this time we going further!
