it's clear there's much greater parity in the men's game, which makes playing an unseeded team that is playing well enough to beat a high seed not as appetizing as it might seem. I doubt Wake Forest is currently thinking they had an easy path to the regional final through an unseeded team that upset the seeded team that should have been Wake's opponent. On the other hand, the parity also means that a non-#1 regional seed (e.g., us) has as good a chance to win it all as anyone.
