What is the lowest seed to win march madness?

The lowest seed to ever win the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament, also known as March Madness, was the 8th seed Villanova Wildcats in 1985. The Wildcats, led by head coach Rollie Massimino and star player Ed Pinckney, captured the championship by defeating the heavily favored Georgetown Hoyas in a thrilling 66-64 victory.

Villanova's unexpected run to the title included several upsets and close victories, making them one of the most memorable Cinderella stories in tournament history. The Wildcats' triumph as an 8th seed remains a testament to the unpredictability and excitement of March Madness, where any team can potentially make a deep run and claim the championship.
