In 1985, Villanova became the lowest-seeded school to win the men’s March Madness tournament, as the 8-seeded Wildcats toppled Georgetown by a score of 66-64. Several other 8-seeds have made it to the final but failed to win, including UCLA in 1980, Butler in 2011, and Kentucky in 2014. The Final Four, however, has featured teams as low as the 11-seed, most recently VCU in 2011.
The correct answer to this quiz is 8.
