Hmmm. So what you saying is:

DON'T: take a guy from a top-seeded 35-4 team, which is in the top five
every year and lost in the second round this year because that team is made
up of losers and chokers.

BUT, DO: take a guy from a 8th-seeded 20-11 team, which also lost in the
second round this year.

Maybe someday, IF Kansas basketball can achieve the level of consistant
success and tradition the dominating UNC-Charlotte program has, then it will
be safe to take one of their players. But until that day comes, we should
stick with the guys from the power programs, like UNCC.
