16th seed- four of them(1 per region)
The earliest round for a 1 seed to go out in the NCAA basketball tourney is in the first round. It happened in 2018 when the University of Maryland - Baltimore County (16th seed in the South) beat the University of Virginia (1st seed in the South) by a score of 74 - 54.
Yes a number 16 seed has beat a number one seed in the NCAA basketball tournament, but it was in the womens' tournament. In 1988, 16th seed Harvard beat 1st seed Stanford in the womens' tourney.

No, a 16th seed has never won the tourney. In fact, in the men's tourney, a number 16 seed has never beaten a number one seed. A 16th seed has beaten a number one seed in the women's tourney only once.
