Both teams were severely under-seeded at #12 and both teams played Big East teams under-seeded at #5. It was more like a 3/4 seed playing a 6/7 seed in the second round. Both games were close and could have gone either way.

In the tourney anything can and does happen. It's ignorant to say a 20something power rated team doesn't have what it takes to make a Sweet 16 run when teams of much less caliber do all the time.
Let's see I will take Andre Miller/and anyone who want to throw in off the street over a combo of Whiting-Lyday as the best guard play that you will ever see in the MWC.
