Bracket Facts For The 2017 Ncaa Tournament

... 64 in three straight years (1985-87). The West Coast Conference has won at least one first-round game each of the past nine years, and it has almost everything to do with Gonzaga. The Zags are the only WCC team to win in the round of 64 the past six years. The rest of the conference has just four wins in the past 20 years, not counting the First Four (Saint Mary's won two in 2010, San Diego in 2008, Pepperdine in 2000). Seventh-seeded Saint Mary's is the other WCC representative this year, and they've got "havoc" on their hands in the form of VCU in round one. It's been a decade since a WAC team won a tournament game, when Nevada beat Creighton in OT in 2007. As the WAC has become far less imposing in recent years, one bid and a double-digit seed are to be expected. Since that's the current reality - New Mexico State is a 14 seed this year - it is worth noting ...

Wichita State Résumé Hurt Seed

... Rhode Island was not going to be in the First Four (automatic qualifiers can't be in the First Four at Dayton). Ironically, Hollis said, that meant in-state rival Providence was moved to a No. 11 in Dayton in the First Four. But Hollis said there were no moves of seeding due to geography once the 1 to 68 seed list was set. NCAA officials said there was a switch in opponents with the First Four due to a scheduling quirk. Originally, the committee had Providence playing Wake Forest and USC playing Kansas State. But a Providence play-in win would have meant a matchup with Creighton in a 6-seed vs. 11-seed game, and teams from the same conference can't face off in the first round. So the matchups were switched, with Providence playing USC and Kansas State playing Wake Forest. The committee also had to make sure USC was playing on Wednesday in Dayton, instead of Tuesday, since the Trojans were coming from Los Angeles. The same was true for No. 16 UC Davis. Hollis said the reason for ...
