One week after delivering one of the biggest March Madness betting upsets ever, Saint Peter’s made history as the first 15-seed in NCAA Tournament history to reach the Elite Eight. The Peacocks fell short of becoming the first 15-seed to reach the Final Four, and if they had done so, would’ve obliterated the record for lowest seed to ever reach the Final Four.
Whose record would Saint Peter’s have topped?
Lowest Seeds to Ever Reach the Final Four
The LSU tigers are the trendsetters here, but they did it in style.
This LSU team was an AP top-10 team, winning their first 14 games of the season. Then the chicken pox outbreak hit, three players were ruled academically ineligible, and they lost two players to injury. As a result, they would finish the season on a 7-10 run, making them an 11 seed in the tournament.
