Wisconsin - Greatest Tourney Run Ever?

Is Wisconsin on the verge of the greatest tournament run ever? They have now defeated:

- North Carolina ... ACC runner-up and legendary program

- Arizona ... arguably the second most talented team in the NCAA this season

- UK ... undefeated, consensus #1 loaded with talent

- Next up ... Duke ... winningest coach ever, talent loaded

The only way it could have been better would have been if they also beat Kansas along the way. If they win Monday, is that the greatest tournament run ever?

It's been pretty impressive. As we saw last night, they are a matchup nightmare. They might not be the most talented team, but my lord they can shoot the rock.

Great shooting and great execution in everything they do. They will make you pay for every lapse you have.

I don't know if it's the greatest ever. I thought last year when UK knocked off 3 #1 seeds was a bit more impressive, especially being a 8 seed.

Best I can remember in terms of defeating storied programs was Maryland in 2002. Defeated 4 previous national champions in succession - Kentucky, Connecticut, Kansas and Indiana. Wisconsin's run certainly is comparable.

They've beat the highest available seed five games in a row. Duke is a 1-seed but technically Villanova would have been the highest available seed in the final, although nobody believed that. This is a terrific run by Wisconsin.

You can't beat three #1 seeds and NOT win a national championship.

Yep. Kansas, North Carolina and Kentucky.

You're right. Brain fart on my part

Kansas.
