The Midwest has #1-3 and #5 while the East has #3 and #4 joined by #7 and #9. #1E-Purdue became the second team to lose to a #16 seed (FDU) while #2S-Arizona lost in the first round. But you can’t be worse than POTUS who had Arizona as his champ and Virginia over Alabama in Sweet 16.
There have been no overtime games (there were 5 last year) and very few one possession wins (7, though 3 more than last year after the 2nd Round) in the 48 proper 64 games played thus far. More than half (25 of 48) have been double-digit wins.
7 of 8 Big Ten teams are already out and the ACC barely squeaked by getting a team (Miami (FL)) in the Sweet 16 every year since 1979. It’s the SEC dominating going 9-4 (not including First Four loss) as 11 conferences sent a team to the Sweet 16. Overall #1 Alabama has won each game by 21 and 22 points while only two other teams, #1MW-Houston and #4W-UConn, have won both games by double-digits.
