Will a 16 ever beat a 1??

Simple enough will a 16 ever beat a 1 in the NCAA tourney?

moc182 · 03-06-2006, 10:44 PM

It'll probably happen eventually.

Yes, I think it would be a good chance if Memphis is a #1 seed.

03-06-2006, 10:45 PM

I guess it could happen, but that chances of that are slim to none.

"Ever" is a very long time frame. That's why I have to say yes, because flukes are bound to happen.

It would be tough. Any small conference team that would have a shot at beating a 1 seed probably would never be given the 16th seed.

My rationale.

I think we will see it in our lifetime(people around 18-30).. the tournament hasn't been its 64 team form very long.

if you get a number one seed that lives by the three and has a cold night and they play a 16 that lives by the three and gets hot its possible

That's a big if.

Look, no team gets to be a number one seed by fraud. They earn it throughout the season and never slip up. These big teams are too dominat for the smaller schools.

Has to happen some time. The law of averages says so.

P-L · 03-06-2006, 11:59 PM

One day, someone will have a bad game, but it is nearly impossible.

If Duke loses their first game in the ACC tourney, and they still get a 1 seed, I could see them lose, and I'm even a Duke fan.

Louisville vs. Penn

The score: 42-38

Louisville: 2-40 3 PT FG

Just wait...

remember that movie they made about that one country's hockey team that was all college players and were just there to show up for their country not win, and they played this team of full grown men, who had been proffesional players for years, in what could be the most dominant hockey country ever, and then after that the kids won, and defeated that other country that i can't think of, damn.....what was the name of that movie? seems like it would fit here.

one problem. The kids on USA were actually pretty good. Name one guy on Iona who is good.

BC88 · 03-07-2006, 02:05 AM

I think it will eventually. Holy Cross gave Kansas a really good run for their money a few years ago, they were actually winning with less than 10 to go in the 2nd half

03-07-2006, 02:19 AM

Honestly I don't think it is going to happen. Teams who get in and put at #16 just arent good enough to beat a #1. A lot of time the #16's are teams in smaller conferences who were actually mediocre in their small conference but made a run to win the tourney.

Only way I see this happening is in a Kenyon Martin like situation, where a team loses their star right before the tourney but retains a #1 spot.

sirsmokealot28 · 03-07-2006, 02:20 AM

so now your telling me no good player has ever played for a 16 sede???? now that STAT i've got to see to believe.

theres the word i was looking for we have a weiner, miracle, thats what it would take.

RyanLeaf#1 · 03-07-2006, 07:10 AM

I think the key player on the 1 seed would have to suffer some kind of an injury.

Jimmy · 03-07-2006, 07:22 AM

sure i mean the 16 team could be ranked nationally as high as 61 so def. possible

03-07-2006, 10:02 AM

yeah....none of us will ever see it happen though
