March 12, 20197 yr If I said you can only have 7 of the 8, which team would you drop? I think we can all just agree that while Houston fits the criteria for the thread they have little shot to win. As good as Gonzaga has been this year you can all but eliminate them as well, based on the fact that mid majors just don't win it.

March 12, 20197 yr Houston will almost certainly be the lowest seed out of that list. Still, being a lower seed and facing tougher competition earlier, I will predict that 1 of those other 7 is out of the tournament before Houston is.
March 12, 20197 yr I agree with those who said Houston. Having said that, congratulations to the Cougars on winning the 2019 National Championship.
March 12, 20197 yr Gonzaga is the only team that has a win over a 100% healthy Duke. Great, that doesn't change the fact they are a mid major. When was the last time a mid major won the title? And I'm not saying they can't do it. I'm saying if you are looking at this from a statistical probability stand point you have to eliminate them.

I'm saying if you are looking at this from a statistical probability stand point you have to eliminate them. I suppose UNLV from 1990 is the last mid-major to win it all. Butler made it to the finals twice and Gonzaga to the title game, so close, but no cigars for those teams.
