UPDATE + Couple of corrections: I made this video before the Sweet 16 ended... so here's some updates :) -Florida Atlantic is GOATED! 2nd 9 seed since tournament expanded in 1985 to ever make the Final Four. Dusty May is a legend. -5th time ever we've had no 1 seeds in the final four, BUT the first time ever we've had no 1 seeds in the Elite 8... Corrections: - Oregon State made the Elite 8 in 2021 (don’t know how I missed this) - Wichita St got bounced in the round of 32, not the Sweet 16 in 2014 - Florida Gulf Coast's S16 run was 2013, not 2016 - Steve Nash led Santa Clara as a 15 seed in 1993, not 1997 - NC State won the title in 1983 as a 6 seed, but I focused on 1985 and on because that’s when the tournament expanded to 64 teams. Looking back I should have included them. Too iconic to not. I think that's all of them :) My promise to each of you is to always get better and better each video. Please always correct anything you see in the comments. I read everyone of them and it only makes the videos better. Thank you to everyone who’s enjoyed the channel so far.

I'm amazed that Butler went to the championship in back-to-back years, which has got to be exciting as a mid-major program at the time.

[@hardwood_yt]

Yup and the second year they had no Gordon Hayward. Brad Stevens 100% deserved that Celtics job lol

[@jeffreekoch9298]

Could be the yr. Mid major could win it all. FAU (C-USA) or San Diego St (MWC). 🏆 Gonzaga (WCC) screwed it up, losing to UConn. Same with Houston (AAC) losing to Miami. . Last mid major to win it all, 1990 UNLV (Big West Conference) ran Duke off of the court in the National Championship game. Almost made another NC the next season, lost to same Duke team in the Final 4. Then Duke won their first NC (1991) against Kansas.

Hell of a video man, mad respect from a Cuse fan and DC native. I think the most impressive 11 seed run is the 2006 George Mason team (a little DC bias of course).

Hey! Great video. I think that FAU might actually be the third because if memory serves UPenn was a 9 seed that made it to the final four in 1979.

Yes they did!! I focused on stats from 1985 on for the lower seeds because the tournament expanded in 1985 to 64 teams. But you’re right!

[@nicholasimholte7359]

It's pretty crazy that we've seen a 15 make the elite 8, but not supposedly better 13 and 14. The best chance a 14 had was in '86 when Cleveland st lost to a David Robinson lead Navy (7 seed!) 71-70. By the way, CSU beat 3rd seed Indiana in the first round, and this upset is memorialized in the movie "A season on the Brink".

[@Josh-ut4wv]

One thing you do see is that there has been a lot of parody between the top schools and the bottom ones in Div 1 as the gap is much closer that it used to be. Just look at 15 seeds there have been 11 15 seed wins ever since 1985 since 2011 though there have been 7 15 seeds that have advanced to the round of 32 (sure 2012 had two occur in the same year but still the point remains and also another point is the last time a 15 seed won before that date was 2001 which was Hampton vs Iowa State) also another thing to point out 15 seeds advancing passed the second round has only occurred after that date this is also the same time that the only 2 16 seed victories have occurred. Also it is worth mentioning with 12 vs 5 there has never been a year where no 5 seeds won but there has been a few that got close as there has been 5 times that 3 12 seeds won that year and only 2 of those are before 2011 with the earliest on happening in 2002. Intresting thing was if a 12 and a 14 seed had won this year it would have been the first year that each seed had a represenative in the next round. But what this all means is that these lower seeds are getting better so expect more upsets and potentially more lower seeds to make it further in the tournament

[@hardwood_yt]

I agree. And the transfer portal really opens things up too

@@hardwood_yt yeah it does I think it will be a matter of time before a second half seed wins the championship. And probably the tournament will probably get another expansion of like more play in games

[@depressedchargersfan8061]

Great video man. I love the quality and I appreciate the hard work. Also, who do you think is going to win it all at this point? I’m thinking UConn, but I’m still hoping that my Aztecs can keep pulling off upsets and make more history. And here is an interesting fact: there is a possibility this year that we can have 3 teams make the Final Four for the first time ever. Either SDSU or Creighton will make their first appearance, and FAU with a win over Kansas State could do the same. Finally, Miami would make their first if they defeat Texas.
