Answer the question and then post a new one.

Who are the 4 #15 seeds to defeat #2 seeds? Name teams involved and the year. Try not to google if possible.

After walking into the shop I remember the 4th:
Richmond Spiders over the Syracuse Orangemen (1991)
I did have to google the years

What team has won twice as a 14 seed, and who did they defeat?

Cleveland State beat Indiana in 1986

Also beat Wake Forest last year as a 13 seed.

But the answer is Weber State:
-1995 beat Michigan State
-1999 beat North Carolina

I don't think this is right. I'm pretty sure UVA finished with the toughest strength of schedule in 2009.

The two RPI websites I checked had UVA at SOS #2 and #3, so it could go either way.
