The NCAA Tournament is here. With that, it’s time to let March Madness and the upsets begin.
One of the most common upsets every season ends up being a 12-seed beating a five-seed. In fact, going into this year’s tournament, there have been 57 upsets since the tournament expanded in 1985. That’s good for a 57-103 record during that time for the 12 seeds. In fact, in the last six NCAA Tournaments, only one didn’t have a 12-seed win at all. Four had multiple 12-seed wins.
So, the odds are that at least one of these games goes to the underdog. Before things tip off, here’s a look at which of those matchups are most likely to end in an upset.
