With St Peters waiting in the wings. Who would have thought?
You'd have to think both of these coaches will be heavily considered at K-State, and possibly Oklahoma State if Boynton moves to South Carolina. I don't want either of them anywhere near the Big 12. It's already too good of a coaching league.

New Mexico State wins a tournament game for the first time since 1993 when they defeated Nebraska 93-79 in the Round of 64. The win snaps a...

Saturday is going to be an excellent day of college basketball. I expect most of those games to be very close, and I think Memphis could give Gonzaga fits to end the day. We'll see
I could be…but it seems like every time they show that graphic, and despite the fact there have been several 2/15 losses since, they always seem to bring us up specifically.
Fun side bet: anyone want to bet the commentators bring up our loss as a 2 in tonight’s game? I’m thinking it will get brought up.
Either way: how ‘bout them Spiders!
I rarely trust MWC in the tournament. Occasionally I get burned by that on a bracket, but usually it's something like a team in 7/10 that goes a couple of rounds above seeding. I'll take my chances picking against it.
Thanks! More than I expected. Before I inquired, I had started compiling, but overlooked several (completely glossed over the ’96 season). I added those to this list (still might contain errors, feel free to correct me).
(Two unless otherwise noted).
1990: Dayton over Illinois; Ball State over Oregon State.
1994: UW-Green Bay over California; Tulsa over UCLA.
1996: Arkansas over Penn State; Drexel over Memphis.
1999: Detroit over UCLA; Southwest Missouri State** over TCU.
2001: Utah State over Ohio State; Gonzaga over Virginia.
2002: (3) Tulsa over Marquette; Missouri over Miami (Fla.); Creighton over Florida.
2006: Montana over Nevada; Texas A&M over Syracuse.

I looked up the % of higher seed upsets since the tournament went to 64 teams.
15 over 2: 6.25%
14 over 3: 15.2%
13 over 4: 21.5%
12 over 5: 35.4%
11 over 6: 37.5%
10 over 7: 39.6%.
9 over 8: 50.7%
Interesting there's not much difference between 10-12 seeds.
15 over 2: 6.25%
14 over 3: 15.2%
13 over 4: 21.5%
12 over 5: 35.4%

10 over 7: 39.6%.
9 over 8: 50.7%

True, it definitely drops from 8/9 to 10-11-12 then another severe drop to 13.
Interesting aside, although 10's win only about 40% over 7, I think still has a higher rate of advancing to Sweet 16 than 7s do (when they do get past the 7).
Ohio State is a joke but Loyola is just pesky enough I wouldn't want any part of them in the 2nd round if I was an Auburn fan.
