      - You figured it might eventually happen - eag Mar 17, 06:55 4
        
        I didn't think that because a #1 should always beat a team seeded #14 through #16. I wasn't sure we'd ever see it happen. -- nm - Krusty Mar 17, 07:03 3
        
        If there's even a 1% chance, we "should" have seen it happen by now - Reagen Mar 17, 07:13 2
