UK and Mizzou are tied for last in tournament wins this decade.

Is this true?

Welcome to history, Saint Peter's! The 15-seed Peacocks picked up their first NCAA Tournament win ever in stunning, dramatic style, beating 2-seed Kentucky, 85-79, in overtime. There are several ways to qualify how unexpected this one was:

Saint Peter's closed as an 18.5-point underdog, making this the fourth-largest betting upset since the Tournament expanded to 64 teams in 1985.

With the win, 15 seeds improved to 10-135 all-time against 2 seeds.

98% of CBS Sports brackets picked Kentucky.

This was all such a big deal that Saint Peter's school website crashed after the win.

Yes. If I am not mistaken, 2 less than KU.

[digitalkookie]

There's only been 2 tournaments this decade though, correct?

That would be correct. I think.

Facts are facts, sir. And this will remain true for at least 363 days (361 or 362, I suppose, if one of them wins a play-in game).

[KUTradition]

the cherry on top to winning the whole damn thing this year would be taking sole possession of the all-time wins record en route

It'd be a great story line. We'd take 1st by winning the elite 8 match up correct?

The media would love that story all week long leading up to the final four.

What’s the all time count?

I bumped that thread hoping someone might have the numbers handy

[KUTradition]

i think we’re down either 3 or 4, but could be wrong

And by then it'll be 4 years since uk had a tourney win.

Just 2 more wins to go.

We started the season behind by 4 and currently have 3 more wins than them on the season. One more win to tie and two more wins to take the lead.

[Qusdahl]

So it would make the sweet 16 that much sweeter. Fuckin rad.

[Wiff]

Fyi, there is a twitter account dedicated to the all-time wins race you can follow.

[Cal's] Opening statement: “Sad day. Not just we lose a game. It’s that this season ended with this group and how much joy they brought to me and our staff. And I’ll just say one thing; that you have an eight-point lead, and I’m a guy that’s been through a lot of these, you have an eight-point lead with three minutes to go, you win the game.

“So I really don’t need to know, well, this guy did that and that guy did this and this and this and this. We had an eight-point lead with three-some to go. I’m not taking away from Saint Peter’s. They deserved to win the game. They fought the entire time.

“But that’s how I feel about it; that, you know, these guys put us in a position to win the game. Let’s finish it off.”

Your honor, may I introduce into the motherfucking evidence, the following motherfucking Exhibit 1-A.
