BEVERLY HILLS (MI) – Is there any Flyer fan who doesn’t love to watch some film of UD stars past, present and future? It’s gotta be the ideal way to pass the time during the offseason. “From the Swamp” is certainly among that number, so without further ado, as Warner Wolf used to say, “Let’s go the highlights”:

– John Gasaway with an interesting observation that he tweeted before the Final Four:
If 2020 had happened KenPom may have given an overall No. 1 seed KU a 20-25% shot to win it all. Excellent chance, but “rest of the field” is undefeated since 2014.
Gonzaga, Baylor, and Dayton may have been the other top seeds. Missing a tournament was harsh all around.
We now know that the answer for 2022 is Kansas and Gasaway’s theory holds true for another year.
