March Madness is here and it is time to start filling out your brackets. Of course, when filling out your bracket, we all are tasked with the question of which No. 1 seed will be the first to be eliminated from the NCAA Tournament.
This year, college basketball fans appear to all agree which team will be the first to falter.
After becoming the first No. 1 seed to lose to a No. 16 seed in the opening round, fans once again are lacking faith in the Virginia Cavaliers.
From The Spun:
As-of Tuesday afternoon, of the four 1-seeds, it won’t shock you to hear that Virginia, again, is the team that fans have losing most often in the first round. Duke, the overall 1-seed, is projected to move out of the first round by 97.7% of users. Gonzaga and North Carolina are both at 97.1%. Virginia lags behind at 96.5%.
The information comes from ESPN’s Tournament Challenge.
The 2019 NCAA Tournament officially kicks off on Tuesday, March 19 with two of the first four games — Prairie View vs. Farleigh Dickinson and Temple vs. Belmont.
