    Krazy March Madness Fact

    I just heard on sports radio here in OKC that of all #1 seeds in NCAA tourny history, no team has won it all if that team lost their first game in conf. tourn.

    This year:-UConn loses its first game this year and they are gonna be a #1 seed. So if this stat is right, than they would not win the championship. (I have them winning it all so far but now im not too sure)

    Im gonna call the station on MOnday and make sure I have it stated properly.

    Has anyone else heard this fact?

    Here it is. Found it on Yahoo Sports:

    No team that ever lost a conference tournament opener ever won a national title.

    First time for everything, as they say. Another adage is: There are three kinds of untruths in the world - lies, damned lies and statistics.

    yeah, this is all sounding like "no team has ever won a superbowl playing all road games in the playoffs".
