Can the Final Four teams repeat?

I have skimmed through the history and haven’t found an instance where the same four teams made it to the Final Four in consecutive years. It could happen this year, ( but, of course, the order of the F4 games will be different) if all four 1 seeds survive through the E8. Too lazy to look up how many times all 1 seeds have survived the E8. I would bet that the historical odds are against all four making it.

And yes, I look at our team as being the most vulnerable to an upset especially in light of depth issues. But then, I have never been accused of being overly optimistic.

I think UCLA has the most dangerous 2 seed.

Oops. Just found this similar thread on The UConn main Will this years top 4 seeds match last year's Final Four?

I think South Carolina is the weakest of the 4 but has the easiest path. I’m not seeing Iowa or TCU as a team likely to upset them whereas UCLA has Duke/LSU in their path.
