The Last Play (Video)

That’s what makes the tourney fun as you never know what’s going to happen.

Also is it possible in those two examples you gave that those two teams just kind of took it for granite that the home state advantage would give them a huge advantage thus not putting out the effort and preparation?

Or, Texas A&M and Syracuse played well and won. And, thank you for 'took it for granite'.

North Carolina was a 2 seed last year and played Texas A & M (7 seed) in Charlotte in the 2nd round. Aggies beat Tar Heels by 21. Michigan State (3 seed) lost to Syracuse (11 seed) by 2 in Detroit last year.

Home court (in-state) doesn't always help.

3 days ago Maryland went into Iowa City and beat the Hawkeyes.

That's a very good point. A better seed with home court could be too much confidence for your own good.
