Wouldn't it be amazing if Arizona made it to the Final Four?

Lute Olsen retired at the beginning of the season; the school scrambled to find an "interim" coach to coach for the 2008-09 season only; the team did not play up to its usual level of excellence; the team lost 5 out of its last six conference games; and the team was not expected to get an at large selection in the field of 65.
Yet the selection committee through Arizona a bone, giving them an at large bid. The 6 Pac-10 teams that made the tournament (Cal. USC, UCLA, ASU, Washington and Arizona) are down to 1 team in the Sweet 16. Arizona. All other 5 Pac-10 squads made early exits in the first and second round. Cal was horrible. UCLA was horrible in round 2.
In addition to Arizona in the Sweet 16, the other thing funny about Pac-10 hoops is that Stanford is still playing. It did not make the NCAA or the NIT. It's ninth place finish in the Pac-10 was good enought to merit a spot in the "CBI" post season tournament where it won its round 1 game. Next is a round 2 game. If it wins, it will be in the CBI final four. It's round 1 game was played at Stanford and drew less than 1,000 fans.
