It is a rarity. So rare, in fact, that it's never happened. As Butler making it in is the first time that a team has made back-to-back final four appearances without being seeded 1 or 2.

>This March has been madder than usual. It has to be a rarity for no #1 seeds and no #2 seeds to make the final four. Now I am cheering for Butler and VCU. For either of them to win would be a shot in the arm for the sport.
