Only 5 double digit seeds make the 2nd round this is tied for the lowest since 2007
This might end up being the most boring tournament by seeds since 2007 which was the "worst" ever for upsets
2025 5 double digit seeds (12-12-11-10-10) reach 2nd round
2023 had 5 as well but they were 16-15-13-11-10 so you had 3 seeded 13 or worst
2017 had 5 (12-11-11-11-10) but in 2017 we had an 11 and 8 seeds reach the Sweet 16 and we had 11 and 7 seeds reach the Elite 8
2015 had 5 but had 14-14-11-11-10
2007 had 2 only 11-11 seeds made 2nd round for double digit seeds
and in 2007 the Elite 8 was (4 #1 seeds, 3 #2 seeds and 1 #3 seed)
We have had at least one #11 seed or worse make the Sweet 16 every year since 2007 when we had none.
We only have 2 more shots #12 Colorado St and #11 Drake this year
#11 or worse seeds in the Sweet 16
2024 (11) Went all the way to Final 4
2023 (15) and we had a 9 seed make final 4
2022 (15-11-11) 3 teams made Sweet 16 #11 or lower and we had a 15-10-8 in Elite 8 and a 8 in FF
2021 (15-11) and that 11 made it to FF
2019 (12)
2018 (11) and that 11 made the FF (also had a 9 make E8)
2017 (11) that 11 made the E8
2016 (11) we had a 10 seed make FF
2015 (11) We had a 7 seed make FF
2014 (11-11) One 11 seed made E8 and we had an 8 and 7 seed in the FF and in the champ game (We know who that was)
2013 (15-12) We had 9 seed make FF
2012 (13-11)
2011 (12-11-11) 11 seed and 8 seed made FF (8 seed made Champ game)
2010 (12-11)
2009 (12)
2008 (12-12)
2007 None and worst seed to make Sweet 16 was 7 seed worst to make E8 was 3 seed
So this has been by far the more "boring" tournament based on seeded wins since 2007 which I doubt will ever be topped.
