16 vs. 1. Before 2018, 16-seeded teams were 0–132 against 1-seeds. There were multiple occurrences of a 16-seed getting within single digits, with the most recent being Weber State losing to top-seeded Arizona 68–59 in 2014.

14 seed has advanced to the Sweet 16 – Chattanooga in 1997 and Cleveland State in 1986. #15 – Florida Gulf Coast in 2013 became the first and only No.

Villanova

1 seeds have won over 80 percent of their regional semi-final games; No. 2 seeds have won over 72 percent of their Sweet 16 games; and, No. 8 seeds have a 7-3 record (. 700 winning percentage) in regional semi-final games.

Since the NCAA Mens’s Basketball Tournament expanded to 64 teams back in 1985, a 16-seed has only beaten a 1-seed once.

The highest seed to ever make the championship is an 8, which has happened twice. The first came in the first NCAA tournament under the modern format, when 8-seed Villanova beat powerhouse 1-seed Georgetown for the 1985 championship.

History of 13 vs. Thirty 13 seeds have upset 4 seeds since the NCAA tournament field expanded in 1985. Going into the 2021 NCAA tournament No. 13 seeds had a 29-111 record all-time. That equated to a 20.71 winning percentage.

A 13 seed has never won the NCAA Tournament, and that probably will not ever happen. Six teams seeded No. 13 have advanced to the second weekend, but all six have faltered in the Sweet 16.

Oregon State is currently tied with the 2002 Missouri Tigers for the lowest seed ever to reach the Elite Eight, a feat that could be surpassed if Oral Roberts stuns Arkansas in their Sweet 16 matchup.

Even with the successes of No. 1 seeds in the Final Four and championship game, there has only been one Final Four in which all four top seeds from the field made it: 2008, when Kansas, Memphis, North Carolina and UCLA were all there. Other than that, three No. 1 seeds have made it just five times.

6 seeds won in the first round but none made it past the second round and three of the four games between No. 6 seeds and No. 11 seeds in the 2019 NCAA Tournament were decided by four points or less….

3 seed line have ever won the national title: one 4 seed (Arizona in 1997), one 6 seed (Kansas in 1988), one seven seed (UConn in 2014) and one 8 seed (Villanova in 1985).

There has never been a perfect bracket. However, a guy named Gregg Nigl got the first 49 game winner picks right in 2019.

How Far Does Each Seed Advance?

The standard-bearer is the 2010-11 VCU team, the 11 seed that made it to the Final Four after starting in the First Four. No team has repeated that run but 2019 is the only tournament where at least one at-large First Four team failed to win a game in the 64-team bracket.
