Message: [QUOTE="Plebe, post: 4242266, member: 6927"] Some history trivia: Since the reversion to the format with the top 16 hosting the first weekend, 2 to 4 higher-seeded host teams have lost in the first weekend each year. Interestingly, more of these games have been lost by 3 seeds than by 4 seeds. The following higher-seeded host teams have lost since this top-16-hosting format was re-adopted in 2015: [INDENT]2015[/INDENT] [INDENT]#2 Kentucky lost to #7 Dayton[/INDENT] [INDENT]#3 Oregon State lost to #11 Gonzaga[/INDENT] [INDENT]#4 Cal lost to #5 Texas[/INDENT] [INDENT][/INDENT] [INDENT]2016[/INDENT] [INDENT]#2 Maryland lost to #7 Washington[/INDENT] [INDENT]#3 Louisville lost to #6 DePaul[/INDENT] [INDENT][/INDENT] [INDENT]2017[/INDENT] [INDENT]#2 Duke lost to #10 Oregon[/INDENT] [INDENT]#4 Miami lost to #12 Quinnipiac[/INDENT] [INDENT]#4 Kentucky lost to #5 Ohio State[/INDENT] [INDENT][/INDENT] [INDENT]2018[/INDENT] [INDENT]#3 Florida State lost to #11 Central Michigan[/INDENT] [INDENT]#3 Ohio State lost to #11 Buffalo[/INDENT] [INDENT]#3 Tennessee lost to #6 Oregon State[/INDENT] [INDENT]#4 Georgia lost to #5 Duke[/INDENT] [INDENT][/INDENT] [INDENT]2019[/INDENT] [INDENT]#3 Iowa State lost to #11 Missouri State[/INDENT] [INDENT]#3 Syracuse lost to #6 South Dakota State[/INDENT] [INDENT]#3 Maryland lost to #6 UCLA[/INDENT] [INDENT]#4 Miami lost to #5 Arizona State[/INDENT] --- In the 2021 "bubble", of course, no one had home court advantage. Perhaps not coincidentally, this is the only time in recent history that a top 4 seed has lost in the first round (#4 Arkansas to #13 Wright State). The top 4 seeds who lost in the 2nd round were #3 Georgia (to #6 Oregon), #3 Tennessee (to #6 Michigan) #3 UCLA (to #6 Texas), and #4 Kentucky (to #5 Iowa). [/QUOTE]
