NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament appearances by seed

Last updated

The NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament is a basketball tournament that has been played annually since 1939. Teams were placed in the tournament based on their records and performance against other teams. The spots in which the teams were placed are referred to as "seeds." When the tournament first started, only eight teams competed in the tournament and seeds were assigned 1–8. As the number of teams in the tournament grew, more seeds were added. Currently, 68 teams compete in the tournament and seeds are assigned 1–16 in four regional brackets. This list is a compilation of the seeds held by teams each time they competed in the tournament.
