With #1 Stanford, #2 Kentucky and #3 Gonzaga losing in the second round, it marks only the second time in tournament history that the 3 top ranked teams in the AP Poll missed the Sweet Sixteen. The other year was 1981. The top three were #1 DePaul, #2 Oregon State and #3 Arizona State that year.
UAB’s first Sweet Sixteen was in 1981. They also defeated Kentucky that year to reach the Sweet Sixteen.
Stanford becomes the first #1 ranked team in the AP Poll to miss the Sweet Sixteen since North Carolina missed it in 1994.
