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.
The first four 11 seeds are significant in the NCAA basketball tournament selection process because they compete in play-in games to earn a spot in the main tournament bracket. These games give lower-seeded teams a chance to prove themselves and potentially advance further in the tournament.
In the NCAA basketball tournament, 11 seeds are playing in games because they are considered to be strong enough teams to compete against higher-seeded opponents. The tournament is designed to give all teams a chance to prove themselves and potentially cause upsets.
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.)
In the NCAA basketball tournament, 11 seeds play in the first four games because they are considered to be on the bubble of making the tournament field. These teams have a chance to earn a spot in the main bracket by winning their first four game.

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.
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.
