| Men's Basketball Championship History |
|
|
The NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament expanded to 64 teams in 1985 with four 16-team regional brackets. The field grew by one team in 2001 with an opening round game determining who would advance to the first round. In 2011, three more squads were added as two games took place in the restructured first round of the tournament on Tuesday. The winners of those contests advanced to the second round (formerly the first round).
The Final Four is determined with the four teams winning each regional meeting for the right to go to the National Championship. The lowest seed to win the championship since the tournament expanded to 64 teams is Villanova in 1985 as an eighth seed, upsetting conference rival Georgetown. In 15 of the last 22 championship games, a top seed from a regional has claimed the national title.
