Chansky’s Notebook: Top Seeds Never Lose
Posted Mar 16, 2017
There is clear value to being a No. 1 seed in the Big Dance. It’s no big mystery why a 16 seed has never upset a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament. No. 2s have lost to No. 15s, No. 3s have lost 14s and plenty of 4s have lost to No. 13 seeds. So for UNC, the value of playing outclassed Texas Western in its opener is that it’s basically a warm-up game.
