Louisville favored by 10-points vs. Wichita St
SECOND biggest Final Four favorite in 64-team era (since 1985)
The biggest Final Four favorite: Duke -11 vs. Michigan St in 1999
Bracket History:
The Final Four has included exactly ONE or TWO #1 seeds 23 of 29 years.
62% of Final Four teams in modern era (since 1985) have been a #1 or #2 seed.
Only ONE team worse than #6 seed has made the FINALS in last 27 years.
Since Tournament seating began in 1979, #1 seeds have met in the Finals only 6 times.
For the 29th time in 35 years #1 seeds will NOT meet in THE 2013 Finals.
17 of 28 National Champions in modern era have been #1 seeds.
For 24 straight years the champion has been a #4 seed or better!
Just a bad match up for Wichita. They win by forcing tempo...and that plays right into Louisville's hands.
