OU didn't deserve a NVAA berth. Get beaten by ONLY 28 by Texas and still get selected!! Guess the NCAA rewards renegade, cheating programs-prior coach cheats and school gets rewarded!!! Cheaters win in the end!!!

John, 6th seeds win about 70% of the time in the first round, as do their 5th seed counterparts.

In my book, that is not "quite often" as you say, although it is obviously more than 1-4 seeds and less than 7-10 seeds, as it should be.

The most telling number, though, is that 6 seeds and 3 seeds are about 50/50 when it comes to wins and losses. So if a 6 seed can get past the forst round, hisory says they have a chance.

But let's be honest. OU is an 8 or 9 hiding in a 6 seed position. And St. Joe's could, in reality, be anywhere from a 7-12 seed but due to their league, you never know.

If I were St. Joe's, I'd be thanking my lukcy stars that OU was gifted to a 6 seed and that they were the beneficiary.

And what are St. Joe's chances if they make it past the first round? 25% against a 3 seed and so far, an 11 seed has never lost to a 14 seed in the dance. FWIW, 6 seeds win 85% of their games against 14 seeds.
