2016 NCAA Tournament: Butler, Providence no strangers to defeating #1 seeds

As Providence and Butler look to pull off upsets on Saturday night, we look back to the last time each team defeated a #1 seed.

As the Butler Bulldogs and Providence Friars, both #9 seeds playing in Raleigh later today, look to knock off #1 seeds Virginia and North Carolina, respectively, we at Big East Coast Bias thought it would be a fun idea to fire up the WayBack Machine and take you back to the last time these two teams faced off against #1 seeds in the NCAA Tournament.

What's that? You remembered that Butler faced #1 seeds in the past but not Providence?
