Message: [QUOTE="Puppy Love, post: 5216547, member: 8101"] Life is pretty difficult in the NCAA tournament for anything except for a number one seed, and even for them it isn’t easy. Historically, about half the number ones make it to final four weekend, although there have been some years when all of them have. Since 1994 (when the tournament expanded to 64 teams), a number one seed has won 23 times. A number two seed has won four times and a number three seed has won three times. It’s hard to tell how many of those winners were the overall number one, but I’m guessing that the number is substantial. It really does seem that being a number one seed matters. [/QUOTE]
