Miami celebrates after their win against Texas in the Elite Eight. At this time last year, a collection of college basketball’s royalty—Duke, Kansas, North Carolina and Villanova—was preparing to gather for one of the highest-pedigreed Final Fours in men’s tournament history. This season, the glamor teams are out, replaced by a trio of lesser-known underdogs from beach communities—Miami, San Diego State and Florida Atlantic—plus the northerners from Connecticut, who are by far the most familiar basketball power in the pack. It is the first time since 2011 that none of the tournament’s No. 2 seeds reached the Final Four.
The four No. 1 seeds in the NCAA tournament are the most coveted currency in college basketball. The country’s top teams slug it out in the regular season to earn what is supposed to be an easier journey to a championship on the rough road of March Madness. And on Friday, the value of the 2023 top seeds dropped to zero in a historic crash of tournament elites.
