2016 NCAA Tournament: How successful are 11-seeds in the tournament?

We've spent a lot of time over the last few days discussing Gonzaga's possible seed assignment in this year's tournament bracket, and the best possible seeding for a deep run. One part of that discussion has now been answered, as the Selection Committee has designated the Zags as an 11-seed.

What does that mean for the Zags? I took a lot at the historical success of 11-seeds in the tournament. Since the tournament expanded to include 11-seeds, teams with that ranking have an overall win percentage of 34.5% (play-in games between 11-seeds are not counted, for obvious reasons).
