I really don't understand how a 16 seed has never managed to beat a 1 seed in a sample size of literally hundreds of games. Statistically shouldn't it have been inevitable by now? How has there not been some extraneous circumstance, like the entire 1 seed team coming down with the flu or their super star player breaking his leg, that allowed the 16 seed to win? Or the 16 seed has some crazy statistical outlier of a game shooting 70% from the field or something.

I didn't read it but 538 tweeted an article about how a 16 seed is "due". I.e. yes it is statistically unlikely they one hasn't won yet.

In the one time it happened in women's BB, Stanford's starting lineup got devastated by injuries going into the tourney.

If you go by win probabilities determined by ELO ratings, there's only a 5% chance that no 16 seed would have won yet, is the gist of it.

I ran the numbers earlier and if you go by the kenpom odds from this year as average (16 seed has a 4% chance to win every 1/16 matchup), then the odds of every 1 seed winning from 1985-2015 would be 0.6%.

Ah, this is going to be the block with four uncompetitive games. I mean, Buffalo-Miami is actually decent but it never seems like Miami's going to let them closer than 6 or 7 points.

I always thought it's because the committee protects number 1 seeds. I would think they purposefully put these small schools as 16s instead of a mediocre power conference school.

This is true. The worst at-large teams get the 11 seeds (and First Four games in recent years). Everything from 12 under goes to a small-school champion.

I think perhaps you are confusing people's arguments about the play-in games, as far as I know no one wants anyone but the worst teams to get the 16 seeds. VVV also, there was a 14 seed play-in game for the final two at-larges a few years back.

That awful Georgia team from (checks) 2008 got a 14-seed after freakishly winning the SEC tournament, but that's one of the few exceptions. SeannieDarko posted:I know, but some may argue that a FGCU should have a better seed and a Tulsa get a 16. If the tournament were just the best 68 teams in the country with no conferences taken into account, Tulsa would have gotten in and FGCU would not. Tulsa didn't deserve an at-large, but having gotten one they are clearly better than FGCU and should be seeded higher. elentar fucked around with this message at 01:52 on Mar 18, 2016 |

We've had a couple 5 seeds go down, but the really big upsets haven't happened yet this year. I think 2 3 seeds had already lost by this time last year.
