None of this year's #1 seeds were a #1 or #2 seed last year. The last time that occurred was in 1995.
None of this year's #1 seeds were from the same conference as any of last year's #1 seeds. This is the first time since 1980 that has happened.
Florida is a #1 seed for the second time in school history. They were also a #1 seed in 2007. That year they won the National Championship with a 84-75 victory over Ohio State.
Arizona is a #1 seed for the 6th time in school history. The last time that they were a #1 seed was 2003. Their 6 #1 seeds is the 5th most in tournament history behind North Carolina (14), Duke (12), Kansas (11) and Kentucky (11). Their record when seeded #1 is 13-5. Their best finish as a #1 seed was in 1988 when they advanced to the Final Four.
Wichita State is a #1 seed for the first time in school history. Their previous highest seed was #5 in 2012. It is only the second time that a team from the Missouri Valley has been a #1 seed. The other time was in 1979 when Indiana State was a #1 seed.
Virginia is a #1 seed for the 4th time in school history. The last time that they were a #1 was 1983 which was their third consecutive year as a #1 seed. Their record when seeded #1 is 7-3. Their best finish as a #1 seed was in 1981 when they advanced to the Final Four and finished third (in the last ever third place game).
Virginia achieved a #1 seed after missing the tournament the previous season. They become the second school to accomplish that feat twice. Here are other teams that have accomplished that feat:
