Michigan Could Become Only Team In Tournament History To Accomplish This

According to this stat, if Michigan were to beat FSU (9) and then face the Kansas State(9)/Loyola Chicago (11) winner, they would be the only team in NCAA Tournament history, to not face a team seeded higher than 6:

What a stat this is:

Michigan — if it makes the title game — will become the first team since the NCAA Tournament began to be seeded in 1979 to make the title game without facing a seed higher than 6.
