First time since 1985 -- no #1 seeds in the Final Four.

And only the second time since the tournament began.

1. Also, all four teams beat a number one seed to get to the final 4!

BTW, I am an LSU alum, but hats off to UT. That was an amazing game.

6. Thanks!

I've been amazed that I haven't encountered one LSU "sore winner." Good luck -- you have a great team there! :hi:

9. Glad to hear it - besides UT already has a championship this year!

2. I was wondering about that...and besides, this year I think the #1's

deserved to be number #1, so it's even more surprising.

3. Actually, it's longer than that

I think the last time was 1980

5. You're right.

It's the first time since they expanded to a 65-team format but it didn't actually happen that year. Thanks for the clarification! :hi:

4. Can't prop up the Pretenders forever.

7. I thought it was the weakest year

I'd ever seen among the top teams. Many friends and I were saying a few weeks ago that this year's top seeds looked like #2 and #3 caliber teams from other seasons. So I'm hardly shocked at the outcome although I didn't take advantage of it financially.
