Info/Stat Help

[DoubleD86]

I read a post on this board earlier this week/last week that listed the stats about the difference between 1 seeds and 2 seeds in the tourney and why it is beneficial to have a 1 seed, but I can't seem to find it.

Anyone able to find or repost those stats?

Thanks in advance.

I want a 1 seed as well. I think people severely underestimate the difference between a 1 seed and a 2 seed.

1 seeds have won 100% of their first round games, 2 seeds 94%.

1 seeds beat 8 and 9 seeds 84.8% of the time.

2 seeds beat 7 and 10 seeds 67.6% of the time.

1 seeds beat 4, 5, 12 and 13 seeds (Sweet 16) 78.4% of the time.

2 seeds beat 3, 6, 11, 14 seeds (Sweet 16) 68.8% of the time.

I want a 1 seed because it is our best chance to advance and it would be a big program milestone.
