Through 2013, there have been

11 games in the NCAA men's basketball tournament that were played between #12 and #13 seeds. The #12 seeds have won eight of these games, but the sole 2013 occasion was won by #13 LaSalle

Since 1985 when the NCAA Turnament expanded to 64 teams the No. 12 seed has beaten the number 5 seed 35 times. Or about 1 out of three.
