70%? I don’t think there has been a clear top 2 like this since UNC vs Illinois in 2005.

Assuming they are on opposite sides of the bracket which I guess isn’t a lock since Purdue could be overall top seed although I doubt it.

It’s amazing what a school with 30-45th ranked recruiting classes can do with good coaching

I agree, I'm going to have a hard time picking against Houston.

Probably Kansas and Kentucky in ‘10. Duke and Syracuse were the other top seeds and were very good, but KU-UK were considered head and shoulders above the rest.

Poor Indiana. Just think where they would have been the last 15 years if Sampson hadn’t been fired.

I don’t see someone beating either team right now, but repeating NC is so unlikely and Houston gives off too many Gonzaga vibes

Watched a lot of the UH Tech game. How is the big guy for UH that went down in 1st half? They can't afford to lose him going into the sweet 16.

UH is a smooth scoring machine when they are on. Unbelievable how they can score 10-15 points almost effortlessly in a few minutes.

Houston plays TEAM ball, Zags depended on one player. that's less sustainable in March

Fixed. This Houston team would bully 2021 Gonzaga just like Baylor did.

Houston would smother Purdue. Edey would get into quick foul trouble and that would be it.

That’s how you beat that team. I’ve seen it happen.

Not as many as you think after today, if people are paying attention... they scored 41 total points with a trophy on the line. let me repeat 41 Not in a half like most teams, the ENTIRE game. Houston can play some good D but they are fools gold.

Big 12 is down and will struggle.

Houston doesn’t have the offense to make it out of the elite 8
