When is the last time the Final Four had no 1-seeds?

The only No. 1 seed still left in March Madness with a shot at the Final Four is the Kansas Jayhawks. If they lose, it’ll be the first time since 2011 that a 1-seed wasn’t in the Final Four.

Should the top-seeded Kansas Jayhawks fall to the No. 10 Miami Hurricanes in the Elite Eight, no No. 1 seeds will be going to New Orleans as part of the Final Four for the 2022 NCAA Tournament.

Saturday night saw a pair of No. 2 seeds cut down the nets. Jay Wright’s Villanova Wildcats defeated the No. 5 Houston Cougars to win the South Regional Final in San Antonio. Mike Krzyzewski’s Duke Blue Devils crushed the No. 4 Arkansas Razorbacks to win the West Regional Final in San Francisco. This will be Krzyzewski’s unprecedented 13th trip to the Final Four.

Unless Bill Self can get his team to play up to their potential in the second half, there will be zero No. 1 seeds in the Final Four this year. All the pressure is on Kansas to keep the streak of No. 1 seeds getting to the Final Four alive. Will they be able to do it?

When was the last time a Final Four did not have a No. 1 seed playing in the national semifinals?

March Madness: When was the last time no No. 1 seeds made the Final Four?

The NCAA Tournament first began seeding teams back in 1979. Up to this point, only three times has a No. 1 seed failed to reach the Final Four. First in 1980, then again in 2006 and most recently in 2011. It has been over a decade since all four No. 1 seeds in the men’s NCAA Tournament have failed to cut down the nets by winning their Elite Eight games. Here is who made it back in 2011.

The 2011 Final Four took place in Houston. While two basketball blue bloods cut down the nets that year, neither Kentucky nor eventual champion UConn were No. 1 seeds. John Calipari’s Kentucky team won the East as a No. 4 seed. Jim Calhoun’s Huskies were a No. 3 seed after having caught fire in the Big East Tournament. Their star during the unforgettable run was Kemba Walker.

Shaka Smart’s VCU Rams were the biggest Cinderella in that tournament, as they won the Southwest as a No. 11 seed. The national runner-up that year was the No. 8 Butler Bulldogs. This was the second year in a row Brad Stevens’ team had led Butler to the national championship game. Keep in mind the 2011 Butler squad did not have Gordon Hayward on it, as he had turned pro.

If Kansas comes up short vs. Miami, expect there to be more Kemba Walker highlights to follow.
