Doed Xavier do better as a lower seed? Xavier in the tourney last 4 years:

2015: No. 6 seed, Sweet 16.
2016: No. 2 seed, Lost 2nd round
2017: No. 11 seed, Elite 8.
2018: No. 1 seed, Lost 2nd round

it's been a super fun tourney to watch; tons of great moments.

going into this march, it was one of those years that there wasn't a clear cut favorite to win it all, and so far its playing out that way.

shocked that 2 #1 seeds are already out; i though Xavier, but was surprised at how easily Virginia was handled... opens the door on one side of the bracket

It was either 6 or 16 thousand brackets on ESPN that have ZERO teams left.

Remarkable, as that is hard to do.

I had a wager with a friend and took Villanova to go the farthest. He took Michigan State so it's already in the bag. I'll continue cheering for 'Nova to go all the way.

So Loyola gets to the Elite Eight with a combined margin of victory of four points in three games. That's gotta be a record.

If Kentucky gets to the final four, they'll have done it by beating a 12 seed, 13 seed, 9 seed and 11 seed. It's got to be a record for a 5 seed to get to the final four without facing anyone near the top 25.

Loyola has a veteran team and an outstanding coach. Wouldn't be shocked to see them go further.

I like Loyola's potential path of Miami, Tennessee, Nevada, and Vacated. Has a real nice ring to it.

Zags look like they have no idea how to penetrate Fla St. defense at all. Need to figure things out quick or they are going to get blown out.

Let the players play basketball. Not EVERYTHING is a foul.
The jokers in the Kansas State/Kentucky game are garbage.

This Loyola-Chicago team is fun! They play a fundamental, hustle, team basketball.

Quick reminder that if Loyola had lost in the MVC postseason tournament they wouldn’t have made the field.
