But, it’s March and every game has some excitement to it, including the first-round game GU played Thursday afternoon at the Vivant Arena.

As the final horn sounded, the Zags became the 129th No. 1 seed to beat a No. 16 seed [0 wins for the 16 seeds] since 1985 when the bracket was expanded to include 16 seeds.

The average margin of victory for No. 1 seeds is 24.73, just a couple point higher than the Zags win today.

It was a slow start for the Zags from distance as they went 0-4 from the 3-point line to start the game.
