Welcome to The Holy Land of Hoops

Firsts this isnt sour grapes. They earned the bids. They won the games. Huge cap tip

But....

9 seed , 16 seed- UVA
9 seed", 16 seed - UNC
11 seed, 14 seed - Miami
12 seed, 13 seed - Duke
14 seed, 11 seed - notre dame
15 seed, 7 seed - Cuse

Only top 8 seed was a dayton team that I think the committee over seeded (saint Josephs was better)

Xavier's last 2 Sweet 16's were from wins over 14 seed Georgia State and 15 seed Lehigh.

I know. That is why I never understood why xavier fans would pump,out their chests at nova fans as though they were a proven tourney winner and nova was chokers. They beat Georgia state and lehigh to go to the sweet 16 while nova had the national champs in 2014 and a talented nc state team in 2015. Those teams in the 7-10 range can beat one and 2 seeds.

I mean, you want to get the best seed possible, but sometimes the easiest oath is if you can get in that 4-6 seed range and catch one of the upstarts.

And again, I'm not knocking the acc, but I just thought it was funny.

ACC definitely got their dinner served on a silver platter but they took advantage of their opportunities....
