they never ever won the championship but they made it and lost 90-84 to Wake Forest 100% BS, what a moron! They won the NCAA championship in 1985 and have NEVER even played WK for a title... Upset favored Georgetown in the biggest upset in title game history, at least recently...
Since the NCAA implemented the 64 seed tournament format in 1985, the lowest seed to make it to the NCAA championship game was #8 seeded Villanova in 1985.

The lowest seed to ever win a NCAA Basketball title was Villanova, ranked seed #8. They won the tournament in 1985. Lower seeds have made it to the Final Four (George Mason and Louisiana State, ranked 11th, made it in 2006 and 1986 respectively) but never won. UCLA in 1980 was ranked 48th and made it to the championship game.
The first ever basketball game was played in 1891 at Springfield College in Springfield, Massachusetts by students who's teacher, Dr. James Naismith, was trying to keep occupied during a rainy day. Therefore, it wasn't an actual team, but rather a bunch of gym class students.
No, they never played against each other until that game in 1979.
