[QUOTE="CuseJacket, post: 409236, member: 274"] Two years ago I reached the end of a 5 year bet that a 16 would beat a 1. I lost, but the premise of my thought is that the middle and back end of college b-ball is better now than it was years ago. 16’s aren’t as afraid of 1’s due to the proliferation of AAU ball. The players on those 16-seed teams are more familiar with some of the top cats from their HS days. Also think it’s partly due to all teams being on TV now. The moment is not as much of a leap as it once was for the lower teams. Not sure if there are any stats that confirm my general feeling. I know Kansas was a remarkably low favorite as a 1 seed against Penn. Something like 13.5 points. And I’m not sure the UMBC win was the biggest upset ever. Missouri lost as a 2 seed to a 15 six years ago or so as something like a 23 pt favorite. [/QUOTE]
