But all 4 4-seeds are left...
It still is an interesting stat but every 1-4 should still be in it. All this means is the 5's struggled and then the 12's couldn't keep upsetting teams.

Re: A stat I find ridiculous still

28-7 and in the Sweet Sixteen - that is the most awesome record. Only one team in school history was better.

This is Hoiball. ISU loses Babb, they lose Booker, they lose Luscious, they lose McGee, and they lose Clyburn heading into this season. They add 2 juco transfers, they add 2 freshman, they add a transfer from Marshall for 1 season... and all they have managed to do is post the 2nd most wins in school history, win a Big XII Tournament title, and they just beat freaking North Carolina to go to the Sweet 16 while missing one of their top players in Niang. Give Hoiberg and his staff a week to prepare for UCONN while adjusting to the loss of Niang and don't be surprised for a second if they go to Madison Square Garden and beat the Huskies.

#Cyclones at best at crunch time. RT @mjshoultz: Last 5 minutes of last 5 games: 85.7% FGs (24-28) and 88.9% 3FGs (8-9). Wow!

These are ridiculous numbers....and are a direct result of how composed and confident our team and leaders are. Remarkable.

During that time, Naz Long is a perfect 7-0 on his field goal attempts. The Nazassin strikes when it counts.

Which is why Hoiberg has been saying that if a game is close in the final minutes we're going to win. He just knows.

I just checked ESPN this morning to view the shots, and I only counted 23 shot attempts during that time. I must have missed some, but 85% is absolutely ridiculous.
