Villanova did it in 1985...
CCNY in 1950...
Other than those two, I'm not really sure. Either way, I'd say the odds aren't looking good.

Yes, this has happened. In the 1980s, one of the biggest cinderella teams, Valparaiso, made a huge run in the tourny and ended up winning, despite being unranked at season's end.

The N.C. State Wolfpack gained the national identify in 1983, even nonetheless that they had lost ten video games for the period of the customary season. Their fifty 4-fifty two final 2nd dunk victory over a school of Houston group that lined Akeem Olajuwon and Clyde Drexler, continues to be particularly between the best upsets in NCAA finals background.

No, I think the furthest a Cinderella ever made it was Final Four. George Mason was unranked last year, and they made it that far.

Villanova won it and oddly enough they beat Georgetown a team that had beaten them 3 times that year. Twice in regular season and in the conference tourney.

Dont know why but for some reason I could swear NC State was not ranked in 83 when they won it.
