Baylor had the added challenge of being a defending national champion. No defending national champ has advanced to the Sweet 16 since Duke managed to do so in 2016.

With these numbers in mind, Baylor becomes part of the 14 percent of No. 1 seeds that don't make it to the Sweet 16, and it makes the No. 1 seed record against No. 8 57-14. No. 1 is 66-7 against No. 9.

The Tar Heels enter the next round with much better odds than they had heading into Saturday, with No. 8 seeds being 7-3 in the Sweet 16 if they manage to make it there. North Carolina meet the winner of No. 5 Saint Mary's and No. 4 UCLA.
