Coincidence? I think not.

Uh, KU sucked last year and the first round was far better.

The average margin of victory in the Round of 64 this year was 16.7 points. According to OptaSTATS, that’s the largest margin ever for the opening round. Ten of the first-round wins were 25-point (or more) blowouts, also the most ever.
Not only did we not see a 16-seed topple a 1-seed, we didn’t even see one of them come close. In the first round, the top 4 seeds all won by a combined 128 points. Houston won 78-40 after holding its first-round opponent to just 16 second-half points. Auburn won 83-63. Duke obliterated its first-round opponent on Friday, 93-49. And Florida routed Norfolk State 95-69.
The 1s took care of business. So did the 2s, who all advanced by an average margin of 19.8 points per win. The closest game in the 2-15 matchup took place between Alabama and Robert Morris, and the Crimson Tide led in that game for 39 of the 40 minutes.
All the 3s won.
All the 4s won.
