Probability in the Elite 8

Don't worry about the mules, just load the wagon!!
Okay, UNC hasn't officially beat Indiana yet but with 10 minutes to go and up by 20 I'm going out on a limb. So assuming UNC wins, here are the probabilities for the Elite 8 teams. KU has the toughest game of the 1 seeds in the Elite 8. We have a 59% probability of beating Villanova and going to the Final Four. Oklahoma is actually favored over Oregon by 50.4% probability of winning. All of the other 1 seeds are favored to win. Obviously Virginia plays against a 10 seed (Syracuse) and UNC plays a 6 seed (Notre Dame). One thing that makes me want to puke is that 4 of the 8 Elite 8 teams are ACC.

KU v UVa
I would be much happier with that title game than one where KU has to face Roy again.
Although Roy is 0-3 against Bill since they changed jobs in 2003, there is always the chance that Paige comes out on fire again as he did against IU. Disrupt Paige and the tarred ones are much less formidable.
I would be more content with Notre Dame (over the tarred ones) facing UVa in the NSF, with UVa moving on to face KU in the NC.
Here's to my personal best of remaining possible FFs, KU v OU and UVa v ND
.
(Although I sorta kinda hate to write this, I would not object to KU defeating Syracuse for all the marbles. My personal angst would be off the scales until the game was secure in KU's favor, but that would be oh, so sweet!)
NOW ENOUGH OF THIS FUTURE TALK!!!
TODAY IS VILLANOVA!
You know how to flay some Wildcats, you KU Raptors, you!
(see KState and Kenyucky this year; those two and Davidson and AZ and even Nova in past years)
GET 'ER DONE!
ROCK CHALK! JAYHAWK! KU!
