Unbelievable Underdogs: The Lowest-Seeded Teams That Shocked Everyone by Reaching the Final Four

Like all of the double-digit seeds, the run came to an end before a title, as North Carolina beat Syracuse 83-66 to advance to the championship game.

FAU had a magical run to the Final Four in 2023, with all five of the team’s games in the NCAA Tournament being decided by single digits.

Nicholas Boyd hit a floater with 2.5 seconds left to give the Owls their first tournament win, 66-65 victory over Memphis. FAU wasn’t done there.

The Owls were probably expecting top-seeded Purdue in the second round, but found themselves against 16-seeded Fairleigh Dickinson instead after an upset for the ages. FAU won that game 78-70. The Owls used a dominant second half to beat Tennessee in the next game. Kansas State was the last opponent in the way of a Final Four berth, and FAU used a balanced effort to overset Markquis Nowell’s 30 points and win 79-76.
