For just the second time in the history of the men’s NCAA Tournament, all four No. 1 seeds have made it to the Final Four. Auburn, Duke, Houston and Florida have been historically dominant all season long, so it isn’t any surprise that they were all capable of making it this far. In fact, the four teams all rank in the top nine in KenPom’s net efficiency metric going back to the 1996-97 season. Still, by pure statistical probability alone, it is unlikely to see all No. 1 seeds make it this far.

The Sweet 16 further confirmed the trend of this men’s NCAA Tournament: The higher seeds are dominating the proceedings. Dramatic, last-second losses by 10-seed Arkansas and 6-seed Ole Miss were the closest we got to having “surprise” entries into the Elite Eight. In fact, 3-seed Texas Tech – which needed a 16-point second-half comeback to get past the Razorbacks – is somehow the only team seeded No. 3 or lower still in the field.

Whether it is because of NIL and the transfer portal, as some have suggested, or it’s a random occurrence, there haven’t been as many upsets and Cinderella runs this year. It’s fair to miss those shocking results, but there are two sides to every coin. With more proven, talented teams remaining in the field, the slate of games in the Sweet 16 promises to be stellar.

We are through one round of March Madness, and the competition has given us the wild moments we all expect. From upsets like those pulled off by 12-seeds McNeese State and Colorado State to heart-pounding finishes such as Michigan vs. UC San Diego, the action has been frenetic. That energy will only pick up as the bracket progresses. With eight games each in the next two days, we are guaranteed more fantastic basketball as teams battle to extend their seasons.

RT @NicoleAuerbach: Florida led for 64 total seconds and won the national championship game.
So cool to see Paige Bueckers get her title after all she has battled through. And to see Geno and UConn return to the mountaintop after about a decade away is wild.
