First World Problems - What Seed Do You Want?

[RiseNorthwestern]

Counting my chickens, but with the latest mocks putting us into the tourney with either an 8 or 9 seed, I began thinking I don't remember many 8 or 9 seeds knocking off a #1 in round 2. Then I ran across this data collect from 1985-2010:

Seems like we have a better chance making it to the Sweet 16 as a 10 seed.

Pretty interesting. Good that U of I scholars have something to do when they aren't in the NCAAT.
