Seeding Capacity: Carolina and Kentucky Have Been There/Done That

Former national champions Marquette (36 victories) and Utah (35) have won a significant number of NCAA playoff games yet never received a No. 1 seed since seeding was introduced in 1979. The top spots are old hat for North Carolina and Kentucky as they're revisiting the pedestal.

Duke, accorded a No. 1 seed eight times in a nine-year span from 1998 through 2006, and Kansas were designated as No. 2 seeds this year. But Duke and KU are connected with Carolina and UK as the four universities to be seeded #1 at least 10 times:

14 - North Carolina (1979-82-84-87-91-93-94-97-98-05-07-08-09-12)
12 - Duke (1986-92-98-99-00-01-02-04-05-06-10-11)
11 - Kentucky (1980-84-86-93-95-96-97-03-04-10-12)
10 - Kansas (1986-92-95-97-98-02-07-08-10-11)
