With all the losses by ranked teams yesterday some "experts" are saying we have a good chance of a 2 seed if we win out. Historical stats don't lie:
• In the modern tournament era -- since the field expanded to 64 teams in 1985 -- more No. 2 seeds have reached the Elite Eight than No. 3 and No. 4 seeds combined (64 to 57).
• When it comes Final Four appearances, No. 2 seeds (29) nearly outnumber the 3s and 4s combined (30).
• No. 2s and No. 3s have had similar success in getting to (and winning) the championship game, but just three No. 4 seeds have reached the title game in the modern era and just one has hoisted the trophy (Arizona in 1997 ugh!!!!!).
