I know one thing for sure......the entire state of Kentucky was sweating bullets, esp that first half.

You are right that was not a Cinderella story that year. The Utes were just legitimately one of the best teams in the country. They should have been a 2 or even a 1 seed in the dance. I do think that UNC was better than Utah, so that was an upset, but Utah was great.
