NCAA Tournament: No. 10 and No. 11 Seeds Fare Better Than No. 9 Seeds

NCAA Tournament: No. 10 and No. 11 Seeds Fare Better Than No. 9 Seeds

Wichita State was the only 10-seed to win an NCAA Tournament game last year. Despite the subpar showing, 10-seeds still have a higher winning percentage than 9-seeds seeds since 1985. As do 11-seeds.

Marquette, Oklahoma State and VCU  all lost their First Round games last year, and with Wichita State's Second Round loss to Kentucky, it pushed the 2017 record of 10-seeds to 1-4, or a winning percentage of .200. That lowered their clip to .386 over the last 33 tournaments. The dip, however, didn't push 10-seeds below 9-seeds, who also remained below 11-seeds.

No. 11 seeds went 3-1 in the First Round and 5-4 overall, with Xavier winning three games and narrowly missing a Final Four berth. The strong year — with a winning percentage of .556 — kept 11-seeds well ahead of 9-seeds.

Here are the winning percentages of all seeds since 1985:
