Accordin to ESPN Stats & Info twitter:

Georgetown is the 1st team ever to be eliminated in 4 straight NCAA Tournaments by a team seeded at least 5 spots lower.


sooooo that whole "Syracuse and Arizona always lose in 1st round" cliche...ya, let's move that over to GTown, k?
 
we lost to a 15 and a 13 right?

Kansas and Gtown have many more 'bad' losses in the tourney

Since the 64+ team era started in 1985, Syracuse is 20-4 in the 1st round. 2 of those happened to be very memorable and spaced out just enough that SU got that undeserved rap. Arizona is 17-10, so their reputation is much more deserved.

FACT!
 
I think we've lost only 3 times to double digit seeds in the first round:

15 Richmond
13 Vermont
12 Texas AM

But we've also lost to a few double digit seeds in the 2nd round: Marquette, Rhode Island and Navy.
 
Am I imaging things, or did we beat Navy earlier in that season?

I agree that if you want to call SU 2nd round or sweet 16 chokers the facts back you up, but not the 1st round.
