There is no question that UF would have won that game and made round of 8.
I also believe that we match up better with Kansas than Michigan, and may well have made the Final Four.
Anyone who claims it was the upsets is putting a lot of weight on the fact that one player on UM - Stauskas - who was 2 for 19 or something terrible from 3 point range in the tourney, happened to get hot against us.
The upsets had nothing to do with where we were or how we lost. We designed a defense to bottle up UM's best weapons and make Stauskas beat us and - on that night - he did.
On another night when Murph makes a few shots (like he always had) and Stauskas misses a few (like he always had), and it is a different game.

p.s. Did anyone think about nicknaming this team "Murph and the Magictones?"

We had a relatively easy path to the Elite 8 and then promptly got smacked in the face. There are some that say we would not have made it to the Elite 8 at all if not for the other upsets.
