Another school, Texas Southern, won the SWAC tournament to tie the Coppin State Eagles in 2008 and Liberty Flames in 2013 for most losses ever to make the tournament, with 20.For only the second time in history, a 16-seed defeated a 1-seed, when Fairleigh Dickinson upset Purdue in the first round 63–58 in Columbus. Coincidentally, much like the previous time a top seed lost in Round 1, the regional final was contested between a mid-major (in this case Florida Atlantic) and Kansas State.For the third consecutive year, and seventh time since 2012, a 15-seed defeated a 2-seed in the tournament. This time, 15-seed Princeton upset 2-seed Arizona 59–55 in Sacramento for the Tigers' first tournament win since 1998.

The Florida Atlantic Owls defeated 3-seed Kansas State to become just the second 9-seed to advance to the Final Four since the tournament expanded to 64 teams in 1985, joining Wichita State in 2013. FAU also became the first team since George Mason in 2006 to make the Final Four in the same season that it earned its first NCAA tournament win. The 5-seed San Diego State Aztecs defeated 6-seed Creighton Bluejays and the 5-seed Miami Hurricanes defeated 2-seed Texas Longhorns to advance to their first Final Four in program history. This is also the third Final Four without any 1-seeds since the tournament expanded to 64 teams in 1985, with the first two being in 2006 and 2011, the second time without any 1 or 2 seeds (2011), and the first time in Final Four history without any teams seeded 1–3.
