The University of Arizona. Arizona beat West Region #1 Kentucky in the national finals, East Region #1 North Carolina in the national semifinals, and Southeast Region #1 Kansas in the Sweet Sixteen.
The #1 seeds are 108-0 against #16 seeds in the NCAA tournament.
As of now, there are 65 teams in the tournament. Two teams (generally considered to be the worst in the tournament) play an "opening round" game. The winner gets the fourth 16 seed in the first round of the tournament.
This question makes no sense. Please rephrase it.
For this to be true it would mean they lost to a 16 seed 3 years in a row. Number 1 seeds play 16 seeds in the first round of the NCAA tournament. A 16 seed has NEVER won. Not even once much less 3 consecutive years. Never happened in the history of the tournament. This is a ridiculous question..

Since seeding began in 1979, 19 of the champions were #1 seeds. 2008 is the only year in which all four #1 seeds made it to the Final Four. (This is as through the 2012 tournament.)

Marquette was the #16 seed in the NCAA Men's basketball tournament in 1977. They advanced and won the championship. They were also the only team to ever beat all 4 #1 seeds during the ncaa tournament.
Since 1979, 56 double digit seeds have made it to the sweet 16. It is a relatively common occurrence with the amount of upsets associated with the tournament. The most double digit seeds to make it to the sweet 16 was in 1999 as 5 seeds of 10 or more made it.
The ncaa basketball tournament is divided into 4 divisions, and the top teams in each one are the no.1 seeds. there are 16 teams in each division, so 64 teams in the tournament. the no.1 seeds play the no.16 seeds in the first round, while no.2 plays no.15, no.3 vs no.14, and etc.
Yes. Going in to the 2013 Final Four, the record for #1 seeds vs. #4 seeds in the NCAA men's basketball tournament is 42-21 in favor of the #1 seeds. This includes two such games in the 2013 tournament: #4 Michigan over #1 Kansas and #4Syracuse over #1 Indiana.
From 1979 - 2010, 54 no 1 seeds have made the final four. That's 42.2%
