We are exactly five games into the First Round and I already lost a Final Four team. Sorry folks! Math has failed us... the curse of Mackey Arena does not figure into the algorithm.
Here is a bizarre tidbit:
Oral Roberts is the 5th No. 15 seed to advance since 2012. In 2 of the previous 4 occurrences, Florida was in the same half of the bracket and advanced to Regional Final. One of the other 4 occurrences was when Duke also got upset, and the Gators can only play in one region at a time. The only time the Gators did not directly benefit was in 2016... which we will not discuss.
ORU will face No. 7 Florida on Sunday.
Weird.
