The 2019 NCAA Tournament will be the 35th tournament in the current 64...err, 68 team format, where the champion has to win six games to cut down the nets.
In the tourney’s 34 previous iterations, a #1 seed has won it all 21 times, a #2 seed has taken the championship five times, four #3 seeds have won, and weirdness has taken place in the other four: 1997 Arizona won it as a 4, Danny and the Miracles won the 1988 tournament for Kansas as a 6, UConn won the weirdest modern tournament in 2014 as a 7, and Villanova won the first 64-team tournament with a miracle run as a #8 seed.
