Kentucky in turn set an NCAA-men's-record 38 straight wins to start a season the next year.

Kentucky became the first team to field all-freshman starters at the Final Four and championship games since the 1991–92 Michigan Wolverines under the Fab Five.

Mercer, Stephen F. Austin, Albany, and Cal Poly had their first NCAA tournament wins.

Cal Poly's victory over Texas Southern marked only the third time a team with a losing record won a game in the tournament.

Per the NCAA, "Upsets are defined as when the winner of the game was seeded five or more places lower than the team it defeated."

TBS aired the traditional neutral broadcast (with Nantz/Anthony/Kerr/Wolfson commentator set that is also being used for CBS's national championship coverage).

However men's team radio networks cannot stream the games online during the NCAA tournament.
