The last time that at least three of the four 1-seeds made the Final Four was in 2015 when Duke, Wisconsin, and Kentucky did it.
You have to go back to 2008 for the next instance of this happening. All four 1-seeds made it to the Final Four that year.
Purdue was the team left out of Biden’s Final Four. He picked Kansas to beat the Boilermakers in the Sweet Sixteen.
