I had hoped they would win at least one more game. That's all. As I said on page 2, they could not win the Championship. Besides, they got caught up in the short time celebrity status. The team said their cell phones were constantly ringing. Day and night. Not good. They still made history. 1 out of 136 attempted games belongs to them. Until?


Until another 16 seed goes further (farther?) and it may be a while. I think only 9 teams seeded 13 thru 16 have made it to the Sweet 16. Villanova, an 8 seed in '85, is the lowest seeded team to have won it all.

A 16th Seeded team has never made it to the Sweet 16. Otherwise, it would have been UMBC, had they beaten Kansas State. They did not. You may be correct in the rest of your comments.

Correct. As a 16th seed has never won a game, no 16th seed could have made it to the Sweet 16. Had I said: "only 9 teams seeded 13 thru 15..." it may have been clearer. Thanks for your observation.
