Message: [QUOTE="SBU72, post: 1698446, member: 741"] There were only 5 routs out of the 32 games. That is, games won by 20 or more. And only 2 loses by 30+. (I seem to remember that it use to be more.) Every year there is grousing about who got in and didn't. And who was seeded where, but it seems to me that there are more close games and more upsets not involving last second heroics. By my count, there were 13 out of 32 games won by lower seeds. Ok, 3 of those were 9 over 8, but still that means there were 10 out of 28 "upsets". And most of them were out and out wins by the lower seed. (they out played the home team) It might be interesting in looking at games between P5 and mid-majors and see how those stats work out. Not just in pure wins but closeness in games too. Do the mid-majors deserve more invites or rather fewer P5 schools because they are P5? And finally, the #1 seeds took care of business, with the closest one beintg UNC's 16 pt win. [/QUOTE]
