    Since seeding began in the late 70s, has a non-#1 seed won the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament without beating at least one #1 seed?

    		Prior year results 1978 to 2010:
    I went through all of them and every non#1 seed that won the tournament knocked out a #1 seed along the way.

    If #3 U Conn win the 2011 tournament next week, they'll be the first. All of the remaining three teams in the Final Four knocked out a #1 seed along the way:
