Elite Eight Will Have Zero No. 1 Seeds for the First Time Ever

The 2023 men’s NCAA tournament has already etched its name into history as one of the most chaotic tournaments in recent memory.

With No. 5 seed Miami upsetting No. 1 seed Houston in the Sweet 16 and No. 1 Alabama falling to No. 5 San Diego State, all No. 1 seeds were officially eliminated from the Big Dance.

This year’s tournament will mark the first time that a No. 1 seed will not play in the Elite Eight in tournament history. Hurricanes guard Nijel Pack led Miami with 26 points while three others players notched double figure point totals to earn the 89–75 upset against the Cougars earlier Friday evening.
