The only other time this has happened since 2002 was in 2009 and 2011 when the MAC was 19th and then made it back to 9th by 2019 after spending the decade in their normal 13 14 range.

Of course that Bassett/Cooper/DeVo upset is still considered one of the top upsets in NCAA history. Last ranking I saw had it in top 10 all-time.

That's just it...during NCAA Tourney time, Guards beat Bigs -- it's a fact. We had Armon, DJ and even Tommy hitting 3's while Monroe was lost guarding the middle. Akron just so happens to be an inside team with Ali Ali and Freeman. Their guards are very good for the MAC but UCLA's guards will have a field day.

I was surprised that #4 Arkansas is playing #13 Vermont in Buffalo. I noticed that myself. Burlington to Buffalo: 7 hours Fayetteville to Buffalo: more or less 17 hours There are only 16 pods. The last couple of 4s just get whatever is left after the 1s, 2s, and 3s are put in the site of what works for them starting with the 1s getting 1st pick. Unless the top 16 geographically matches the pods some 4s will travel across the country. It happens every year.
