YesIn 1999, the Knicks were the 8 seed. They beat the #1 seeded Miami Heat in the first round, and advanced all the way to the NBA Finals, where they lost to the San Antonio Spurs.

The previous year, the Knicks were the 7 seed, and they beat the #2 Miami Heat in the first round.

The previous year, the Knicks were the 3 seed. That year they lost to the #2 Miami Heat, in the second round.

#1 seeds are 49-3 in the first round of the playoffs.

In the 1998 Women's tourney, #16 seed Harvard defeated #1 seed Stanford Cardinal.

No 16 seed has beaten a 1 seed in the Men's tournament. However, #16 Western Carolina lost 71-73 to #1 Purdue in 1996.

*~//~*More telling than that, in 1989 Georgetown (50-49 over Princeton after Alonzo Mourning blocked two last-second game-winning shot attempts) and Oklahoma both won by only one point over their respective #16 seeds, with Oklahoma needing to rally from a seventeen-point deficit to upend upstart East Tennessee State 72-71

Also, one could argue that 1990 Murray State came closest, depending on your point of view, as they took Michigan State to overtime before losing by four, 75-71.

And the Harvard win over Stanford deserves a HUGE asterisk, because Harvard was much better than a 16 seed, as well as due to the fact that two of Stanford's starters were injured, which, in a men's bracket, would've cost them their seeding because seeding is universally represented by the product put on the floor in the men's game. It was, in retrospect, more of a traditional 14 vs 3 matchup.

Not sure exactly how many times, but the most recent time it happened was in 2007 when Baron Davis and the Golden State Warriors (8 seed) upset the Dallas Mavericks (1 seed with the best record in the NBA) in an incredible upset.
