How about Kentucky in NCAA basketball?

I'm not making excuses for us NOT making it to Omaha. What I am doing is just debating with you that baseball is different than any other sport. So, with that being said, basketball is SO different than baseball. All Coach Greaseball has to do is recruit some of the best high schoolers in the country and get them to come to Kentucky KNOWING they will get drafted and leave in a year for the NBA. You CANT get drafted out of high school in basketball and you can in baseball.

Also, if you have some of those dominant players in basketball you WILL win. Baseball isn't like that. Great hitters only bat once every 9 hitters. Great pitchers only throw once a weekend. One player can absolutely dominate the hell out of a basketball game. 2 first round NBA talents can carry a team EASILY in to the top 8 in the country.

Also are we talking top 8 ranking wise or elite 8? Because you can't possibly expect anyone to make the elite 8 almost every single year. Crazy shite happens in that tournament every single year. No way to reasonably expect to make the elite 8 almost every year.
