Let’s pretend for a minute that such things as alternate timelines and parallel histories actually exist.
And let’s suppose, for just a moment, that somewhere out there are divergent paths for this NCAA tournament -- perhaps caused by a disgruntled Monmouth or St. Mary’s fan who time-traveled back to Selection Sunday morning to talk some sense into committee members.
Now imagine that you woke up in this lateral reality and the first thing that you learned was that Kansas, Villanova, Oklahoma and Oregon had made the Final Four. Would you even suspect that something was off?
