Message: [QUOTE="moqui, post: 226162, member: 214"] it's not like that is such an easy thing to do, you know. Before the tournament expanded to 64 teams, high seeds received a first round bye and could advance to the regional finals with just two wins, so let's throw those out. Let's just consider the modern era, which began in 1985, and during which everyone had to win 3 games to get to the Elite 8 (four if you are a play-in team). There have been 27 NCAA tournaments in that era, this is the 28th. Bobby Knight and Jim Boeheim have both appeard in 22 of those 27 tournaments. JB has advanced beyond the Sweet 16 "just" four times . . . while Knight achieved that feat . . . three times. that Knight guy must really suck, eh? [/QUOTE]
