Message: [QUOTE="Jimbo, post: 2117062, member: 6751"] Quinnipiac's awesome run this year made me wonder how often double-digit seeds reach the Sweet 16. It's happened about once a year since the turn of the millennium. Here's the full list of the 22 double-digit seeds to make it this far: 10 seeds (5): 1991 Lamar; Vanderbilt 2001 Missouri 2007 Florida State 2016 Oregon 11 seeds (10): 1996 Stephen F. Austin 2000 UAB 2002 BYU 2003 Notre Dame 2004 UC-Santa Barbara 2010 San Diego State 2011 Gonzaga 2012 Gonzaga; Kansas 2015 Gonzaga 12 seeds (4): 1996 San Francisco 2013 Kansas 2014 BYU 2016 Quinnipiac 13 seeds (3): 1994 Texas A&M 2005 Liberty 2007 Marist Of all these teams, only two (#10 Lamar in 1991 and #11 Gonzaga in 2011) won again to reach the Elite 8. So, if Quinnipiac can pull off a big upset today, they'll make history as the first #12 seed to get there. The lowest seed ever to reach the Final Four was #9 Arkansas in 1998. The lowest to play in a championship game was #5 Louisville in 2013. [/QUOTE]
