Who the Hell is Deron Washington?

After taking a brief look at the bracket.....ok, I'm lying, I've been studying it for the past six hours, I'd have to say that UCLA has the easiest path to the Final 4.   Duke is by far the weakest of the 2 seeds and Xavier is a pretty solid 3.  I would have been more worried had Wisconsin grabbed the 2, due to the fact that they play a similar style to UCLA, which at times can cause problems for the Bruins.  As for any snubs, I think the only real gripe would be Arizona getting in over Arizona St.  For some reason though, Arizona is always considered a high profile team.  They remind me of the old Steve Lavin UCLA teams that under achieved but always seemed that they could make a run to the sweet 16.  As for Va Tech, well, their best non conference win was against St. Johns.  Oh, and St. Johns was so good they didn't even qualify for their own tournament.  Va Tech was also 1-5 against ACC teams that made the tourney.  I think the only downside to not letting in Va Tech is that we won't be able to keep asking the question "who the hell is Deron Washington"
