He was saying that they're not going to be the first. As in they're not going to lose to a #16 seed just because they're missing one player.

Don't worry, I take a lot of classes to help me do just that.

Found this because I was trying to remember who almost beat Purdue in the first round in 1996:

Surprised they left a certain 2006 nail-biter off that list.

No kidding. In how many of those games listed was the #1 seed down 12 with 11 minutes to go in the game?

I think that 2006 group gets a lot more grief than any 30-win team deserves, but that was one painful NCAA tournament. From this to practically begging Washington to win the game, plus the grand finale two days later, it may have been my least favorite postseason run.
