The whole side of Dukes bracket when it came out was hot poop , even if it held to seeding it was a very good draw . Villanova was and is a fraud every year , the Zags are a fraud every year , Virginia was hurt and not playing well and also a fraud to a lesser extent because all they had was defense which made for ripe upset for an unbalanced squad . It was a joke when it came out but it was expected and it will be a joke next year as well . Meanwhile three of the four best teams were all on one side with the fifth best one as well in Wis , UK , Ariz and ND . So UK who had the supposed overall number one had to beat two top five teams to make the title game while even if Dukes bracket held to form would never have had to play one of the five best teams to make the title game .
