Unbelievable Underdogs: The Lowest-Seeded Teams That Shocked Everyone by Reaching the Final Four
10-Seed Syracuse in 2016
Weirdly enough, five 11 -seeds have made the Final Four, but only one 10-seed has in the tournament’s history – the 2016 Syracuse Orange.
The team started the tournament with a couple easy wins, beating Dayton 70-51 and Middle Tennessee 75-50.
In the third round, Syracuse found itself in a close game against fellow double-digit seed Gonzaga, but escaped with a 63-60 win. Then, in the regional final against the top seed, Syracuse held Malcolm Brogdon to 2-of-14 shooting and beat Virginia 68-62. Malachi Richardson led the way with 23 points.
