Unbelievable Underdogs: The Lowest-Seeded Teams That Shocked Everyone by Reaching the Final Four
After several close wins, FAU found itself on the wrong end of a heartbreaker in the Final Four. Lamont Butler hit a jumper at the buzzer to give San Diego State a 72-71 win and end the Owls’ incredible run.

After VCU’s run just two years prior as an 11-seed, the ninth-seeded Shockers’ march didn’t seem as unlikely. But the team is still one of the lowest-seeded teams to dance all the way to the Final Four.
Wichita State started its run with an easy 73-55 win over Pittsburgh. Then came the big test against top-seeded Gonzaga, and the Shockers aced it with a 76-70 win. After that, Wichita State handled upstart La Salle 72-58 in the Sweet 16.
