I get 53First time since 2019 that all 4 1 seeds made the second weekend.
All combined, the sum of all the seeds that made the sweet 16: 4 1's, 4 2's, 2 3's, 2 4's, 2 5's, 6, 11 is 51, which is the third chalkiest sweet 16 on record behind 2019 and 2009 (49 for both).

Luke Goode, best player in college basketball, confirmed. /s
I, for one, am THRILLED at how important Luke has shown himself to really be as a valued contributor to this incredible team on both offense and defense since the Big Ten Tournament. He clearly was playing through an injury for much of the season that limited his value to the team. Both he and Dain have really been given opportunities by Brad these last 6 games and they have rewarded him beyond anything any of us could possibly have predicted. As a result, I will be shocked if they both do not return next year, whereas before the Big Ten Tournament I would have been shocked if at least one of them didn't transfer. Given their patience when it came to playing time this season, it is so great to see a couple of EVERY DAY GUYS showing their true value at the most important time of the season. Their importance to maintaining the culture of this program going forward given their multiple years at ILLINOIS will be immeasurable next season.Luke Goode, best player in college basketball, confirmed. /s
Goode was our best tournament offense player? Not a good metric but a good fact.
