NASHVILLE -- Virginia isn't alone as the opening weekend of the NCAA tournament has laid waste to a pair of No. 1 seeds.
On the heels of No. 1 Virginia's loss to No. 16 UMBC on Friday, Xavier became the second 1-seed to get eliminated from the tournament when it botched a 12-point lead in a 75-70 loss to No. 9 Florida State in Nashville on Sunday.
According to ESPN Stats & Information, it is just the fourth time since seeding began in 1979 that two 1-seeds failed to reach the Sweet 16 (2004, 2000, 1981).
