Hawaii plays a different defense, and as a 13 seed drew an Arkansas team that won the SEC tourney, but beat two pretty mediocre teams to get it done in OU and Ole Miss, then a solid Vandy team. They have a great record, but really have what could amount to being the best player of this year in Acuff, who put up 30 a game in their tourney.

But Arkansas had Samford and Winthrop play them close. They ran over a lot of their other mid major foes. In my opinion, they have a big record partly due to playing a lot of overrated/average SEC teams. Auburn they split, OU squeeked by twice, LSU two games, Missouri twice.

Acuff by most accounts is not only an amazing player, but selfless and has played through injuries all year, and one article described him as "the most obvious superstar you've ever seen in your life."

No game is easy for a Big West team in the tourney, but if they can slow Acuff down, they might have a shot.
