Greatest Final 4 Ever?

Said this on "Mike and Mike" and I would have to agree

Not only 4 number 1 seeds but following. Never looked more forward to the games than this tourney.

The NCAA Final Four of North Carolina, Memphis, UCLA, and Kansas will be the first in tournament history among four regional #1 seeds. But of course, the practice of seeding teams dates back only to 1979.
The fact is, this will be the first time that an NCAA Final Four will be comprised of the top four teams in the AP poll at the time of the games-and those polls go back an additional 30 years, to the 1949 tournament. Looking for the closest parallels? Over the last 60 years, there were two others in which four teams from the AP's top five reached the semifinals (AP ranks in parentheses):
*In 1970, the Final Four teams were UCLA (#2), St. Bonaventure (#3), Jacksonville (#4), and New Mexico State (#5). Top-ranked Kentucky lost to Jacksonville in the quarterfinals.
*In 1951, the Final Four teams were Kentucky (#1), Oklahoma A&M (#2), Kansas State (#4), and Illinois (#5). Columbia, ranked third by the AP, lost to Illinois in the first round.
