I was looking at this too, is this the first time every 4 and 5 seed advanced?

Good question. There should be some fun #4 vs. #5 games in the 2nd round.

It was also interesting that every #8 seed won their games vs. the #9 seeds.

The higher seeds won 84% of the 1st round games.

Higher seeded teams were 3 one point upsets and 3 points in an OT game from being 31-1. That is amazing. They get a lot of criticism, but the results prove that the committee did a great job seeding this tournament.
