OT-Parity in NCAAB

I was having a conversation with a friend who was trying to convince me that nobody wants to see a cinderella win a tournament game, and that people only watch the tourney to see the "10 teams who are worth a damn". Obviously, my friend listens to too much Colin Coward, and is just an ignorant elitist. So I looked up the Final Four over the past few years, and there have been 15 different Final Four teams in the past five years alone. I think that since the NBA rule change, and more players are one and done each year, it makes the tournament better than ever. Obviously I'll never have a perfect bracket, but I find myself cheering for the little guys each year, because I would much rather see a Final Four with teams like VCU, George Mason against a Duke or Kansas than to see four elite programs play for the 80th time. Anyone else with me on this, or am I just crazy?

Anyone who doesn't turn the ball over is a bad matchup for VCU. #31 in def eff, 257th if you take out turnover possessions. All their games vs efficient teams were either losses or close wins(Stl, La Salle, St joes, Richmond, Temple).
