As many six seeds as ones and twos combined. This is a wipeout of historic proportions. Look at it this way. OSU is the fourth-highest seed still standing. Only four of the top 12 seeds are alive.
Favorites are a mirage.
Duke squeaked past Kansas on Sunday. Kansas is a tough squad that played OSU within 52 points combined in a couple of classics that left fingernails still manicured. Lafayette in the first round. By three and five points. The West teams are LSU, Purdue, Wisconsin and Gonzaga.
