Everybody talks about the 5/12 upsets but this year it looks like the 4/13 is going to be the place for upsets.  The #5 seeds are 2-0 with two games to play.  The #4 seeds, however, are 1-2 with one to play:
  • #4 Arizona lost to #13 Buffalo
  • #4 Wichita State lost to #13 Marshall
  • #4 Gonzaga won a close game over #13 UNC-Greensboro
  • #4 Auburn plays CoC at 7:30 tonight.

As of this hour the #s are
7 times a #15 beat a #2
21 times a #14 beat a #3
28 times a #13 beat a #4 
47 times a #12 beat a #5
50 times a #11 beat a #6 

Of course we don't know what seed these low seeds beat to advance any further w/o deeper analysis presented here, I remember a couple double digit seeded second round games.
1 time a #15 made to SW16
2 times a #14 made to SW16
6 times a #13 made to SW16
20 times either a #12 or #11 made to SW 16

1 time a #12 made it to E8
11 times a #11 made it to E8

3 times a #11 made it to FF.
1 time a #10 made it to FF

Curious just how (on average) big the quality gap is of a #13 v a #12,  versus a #12 v a #11.  My hunch is the #12 over a #5 is overhyped as an upset.  Is it an upset?  Yeah, but I don't think the frequency is somehow greater than what statisticians would expect.  I assume this has been studied (expected outcomes, etc.)

I just read this and wondered if it's true. Major blow to Purdue's chances.

Sunday will be a fun day in the Mountain State. WVU vs. Marshall.  I expect a good game.

It was a beating in the 2nd half.  Lyles was dominant.
