I see a lot of High Point over Purdue. Could happen but I've run a ton of game simulations and nearly every one of them has High Point losing by 20+

That's bold. No coach in NCAA history has taken their first year ever coaching D1 team to the tourney and won a game.
How many of those coaches were NBA associate head coaches with over 15 years of coaching experience in the NBA and G League?

I do think and hope VCU gives them the loss though.

Not sure. If you wanted to find that out I'm sure you could. Just heard that on a podcast this morning.

An all-1 F4 doesn't happen often (3 times so far, I think, deferring to @HoopsTournament or others for verification). This could be one of the outliers seasons, but as a rule I avoid picking all 1-chalk. I go with two 1's, maybe a 2 or 3, then perhaps a darkhorse below 4 line.

Historically, that might be a decent approach, but even if it is, the challenge is the "who."
2008 is the only time it happened.

Frieder coached the regular season and resigned and literally that link says the regular season they give to Frieder but the NCAA tourney wins to Fischer. So technically...TECHNICALLY...your gotcha failed.
If that is the case, the next season was Fishers first season and they won a tournament game.
