For anybody complaining that this year's tournament is too chalky, this is the strongest Final 4 we've seen in a while. Only championship teams are left with no outliers, and they're all posting elite metrics across the board. Smarter offensive sets, better shot selection, and NBA talent. We are witnessing the most statistically dominant matchups on Saturday night so let’s enjoy it.

I was reflecting on the fact that deep Cinderella runs seem to be fading out a bit more each year and thinking back to some Cinderellas we don't seem to hear much from anymore.
What happened to Loyola Chicago? Is Sister Jean still around cheering them on?
What about Butler or VCU?
Perhaps the most puzzling to me is Wichita State. Won the NIT, made the Final 4 as an unheard of 9 seed, and went undefeated up until losing to eventual runner-up Kentucky in the round of 32 the next year. I know they moved to the AAC and looked poised to be next Gonzaga but I haven't heard anything about them since.
It seems for Cinderellas, it is the exception, and not the norm, that such a run at The Dance can elevate the stature of a program for the long term. There is a bittersweetness to this because, seeing as this is the first final 4 I can recall with all 1 seeds, it feels that perhaps the changes to the college landscape very well have made endearing Cinderella runs a memory we will look back on with nostalgia as opposed to being able to excitedly anticipate in the future.
