2011 is the first time
Michigan State is the number 2 seed.
There have been three times in NCAA Men's Basketball history that no #1 seed has been in the Final Four. The only three years were 1980, 2006, and 2011 with the following teams included in their separate final fours: 1980: Louisville (#2 seed), Iowa (#5 seed), Purdue (#6 seed), and UCLA (#8 seed) 2006: UCLA (#2 seed), Florida (#3 seed), LSU (#4 seed), and George Mason (#11 seed) 2011: Butler (#8 seed), UConn (#3 seed), VCU (#11 seed), and Kentucky (#4 seed)
This has never happened. In 2006 and 1980 there were no number 1 seeds, but both years there was one number 2 seed remaining. 2011 was the first year that there was no number 1 or number 2 seeds that made the final four.
They were an 11 seed.
