Arizona didn't even deserve to be in the field.

I am rooting for all the double digit seed teams. The only thing I would like to see is an all Big East final four

Who would have you picked instead, and why?

San Diego State or Saint Mary's.
In the case of Saint Mary's the return Patrick Mills made the Gaels a better team. Despite being blown out in the WCC championship game they deserved to be in.
San Diego State because of a better RPI (34), Arizona (62) according to collegerpi.com and better overall record. Arizona had a slightly better schedule (34) than the Aztecs (40). Arizona lost 5 of 6 down the stretch and only beat Stanford in the Pac-10 tournament. To me, that is a resume of a team that is out.

Arizona also beat a number of quality teams - UCLA, USC, UW, Kansas, Gonzaga - wins that neither St. Mary's or San Diego State had.

Those wins over quality teams and only
6 spots better than San Diego State. I would have voted them out.

You must be enjoying the fact that Kentucky didn't even make the dance, while WKU won at least one game for the second year in a row.

Very much so.

Hopefully the Sweet Sixteen for the 2nd year in a row.

Well Arizona is the only one left standing though WKU put up a hell of a fight.

Arizona is probably going down too =/ . The committee will look really smart if Arizona makes it to the elite 8 though.
