Official 2006 NCAA Tournament Discussion Thread

zaga doesn't fit the profile of a 2 seed in my book. as 27 said, our competition for the #1 is memphis, not the zags.

HTML sometimes gives people fits when they try to post... no worries rob.

Remember that basketball more so than football will have one person get "hot" and wipe out the other team pretty quick. That's the way the #12 seed always upsets the #4 seed (someone can check history on this one!).

FWIW, 5 seeds actually play 12 seeds in the 1st rd. Here is a link that show how the seeds have performed historically vs other seeds (that is confusing)

If you look below, #13 seeds have a total of 83 losses listed, while #15 seeds have a total of 85. Since the tournament expanded to 64 teams 21 years ago, it is apparent that one of the victories by a #4 seed over a #13 seed was recorded incorrectly.

The wonderful world of Mathematics

Outstanding job briegg, Bucky Katt, and holy buckeye33. I was in error on what my remembrances were. (of course an even (4) cannot play an even (12) in the first round). Slipped right by me. I guess the 13 vs 4 upsets make the most memorable games........I know I pick at least one when I do my office pool picks on who reaches the Final Four.

Now if I want to play the percentages, I'll use your cheat sheet. Again, great job.

:biggrin: :osu:

Seeds have always been problematic, but getting a 1 vs a 2 is no big deal IMO.

What is far more important is who ends up in your path to the Final Four. It isn't even a matter of how 'good' those teams are, but how well you match up. You can look at two #7 seeds and find completely different types of team.

The issue of 1 vs 2 - other than the prestige that goes with a 1 - is a tempest in a teapot.

Well My Butler Bulldogs are official out of contention now for the Tournament, hopefully an NIT bid will go there way, so I can spend my full fan attention towards the buckeyes now. Hopefully they will not disapoint, but after the season we have had so far I don't know how we could say anything that happens in a the tournament could be a disapointment.

I was hoping for a Butler win tonight also. Looks like only 1 Indiana team will make the tournament (IU). I was rooting for IUPUI last night too, but they blew it. They should be good for the next few years under Ron Hunter, they bring in some real good athletes (that usually aren't academically capable of getting into bigger schools).

On the Buckeyes- I agree with most in that the 1 or 2 doesn't really matter. We're going to meet some solid-to-real good teams either way down the road.

Well, Good news for BN27. Jerry McNamara split two defenders and made a runner, taking off from just outside the 3-point line, to beat Cincy 74-73 with a half-second left. Cincy's half-court heave bounced off the front of the rim at the buzzer. I think 'Cuse still needs to beat UConn tomorrow to get in.

And Cincy's a little closer to the bubble.
