In 1975, with seven teams, the total margin of victory in all six games was 18 points. The biggest margin of victory was six points.
Some things never change though: Maryland was top seeded and lost in its only game.
Every game was close and exciting and worth watching. Wake Forest was the last place team and it took UNC overtime to beat them in the opening round (Maryland had the bye).
We’re almost certainly not going to see basketball like that on Tuesday.
All the matchups are between mediocre teams.
In 1975, NC State had David Thompson, Virginia had Wally Walker, UNC had freshman Phil Ford, Wake had Skip Brown, Clemson had Tree Rollins and Duke didn’t have much but the Tigers only won by two points.
