15th
16 seed, beat duke last year
1, they were the lowest seed to win the national championship as an 8 seed in 1985, they beat Georgetown
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.
The answer to your question is yes. George Mason (2006) and LSU (1986) both beat #1 seeds as #11 seeds. In 2011, Virginia Commonwealth (VCU) beat #1 Kansas to become the third #11-seed (LSU and George Mason being the first two) to advance to the Final Four.
Yes. Several times. One of the most recent times was in 2007 when Golden State Warriors beat the heavily favored Dallas Mavericks.
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. (Answer by Mymomisnfat) It also 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.
just mirror it
The highest remaining seed in the conference (Eastern or Western) plays the lowest remaining seed in their respective conference. Then the next highest seed gets the next lowest possible seed, and so on. For example, if after round #1 seeds 1, 2, 4, and 6 remain; 1 plays 6, and 2 plays 4.
Highest seed would be a #1 seed, of course, done many times.
Is a team in the NFL that earns a spot in the playoffs. The NFL considers the higher seed "1" and the lowest seed "6". So in theory a higher seed is better.
No because the 1 seed faces the 16 seed, but 1 seeds are 112-0 in games against 16 seeds.
The closest has been a one point loss.
