Andy Wittry | NCAA.com | May 8, 2020 2000 NCAA tournament: Bracket, scores, stats, rounds 2000 Naismith Winner: Kenyon Martin Share The 2000 NCAA Tournament was the last NCAA tournament with a 64-team bracket, prior to the introduction of the 65-team bracket in 2001 and later the current, 68-team bracket in 2011. Michigan State won the 2000 NCAA Tournament, giving the Spartans their second national championship ever and Michigan State coach Tom Izzo his first. It was the last time a Big Ten team cut down the nets. Fellow Big Ten member Wisconsin also made the 2000 Final Four, as did Florida and North Carolina. The Midwest Regional, where No. 1 seed Michigan State was placed, played out in favor of the top seeds with teams seeded No. 1 through No. 8 winning in the first round. There was chaos elsewhere in the bracket. The Sweet 16 featured No. 6 seed Miami (FL), No. 6 seed Purdue, No. 6 seed UCLA, No. 7 seed Tulsa, No. 8 seed North Carolina, No. 8 seed Wisconsin, No. 10 seed Gonzaga and No. 10 seed Seton Hall. That means half of the Sweet 16 field was seeded No. 6 or worse, and had to pull off one upset, if not two, to reach the second weekend. The Elite Eight consisted of No. 1 seed Michigan State, No. 2 seed Iowa State, No. 3 seed Oklahoma State, No. 5 seed Florida, No. 6 seed Purdue, No. 7 Tulsa, No. 8 seed North Carolina and No. 8 seed Wisconsin, meaning there were more teams that didn't receive a top-four, protected seed than those that did. 2000 NCAA tournament: Bracket Click or tap here for printable bracket.
