Has a 16 seed ever beat a 1 seed in the NCAA basketball tournament?

I want to know if a 16th seed has ever beat a no. 1 seed in the NCAA basketball tournament. It doesn't matter if it was a mens or womens game.

No Never in the mens game
As far as the mens tourny there has never been a #16 beat a #1. A #15 has beat a #2. In the womens I have no idea.
NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Championship - Wikipedia, the ...For other NCAA basketball tournaments, see NCAA Basketball Tournament. ... Since no #16 seed has ever beaten a #1 seed in the men's championship, ... Low seeds Lowest seeds to reach each round since 1985 (Sweet Sixteen onward): Sweet Sixteen: #14 seed: Cleveland State in 1986 Chattanooga in 1997 Elite Eight: #12 seed: Missouri in 2002 Final Four: #11 seed: LSU in 1986 George Mason in 2006 Championship Game: #8 seed: Villanova in 1985 - won championship http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NCAA_Men's_Division_I_Basketball_Championship - 98k - Mar 17, 2007 - Cached - Similar pages NCAA Women's Division I Basketball Championship --- , the only #16 seed to beat a #1 seed occurred in the women's tournament in 1998, when Harvard defeated Stanford 71-67 at Stanford. (Stanford's team had two starters unable to play because of torn ACLs [1].) That feat has never occurred in the men's tournament. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NCAA_Women's_Division_I_Basketball_Championship
A men's #16 seed has never won against a #1; that record is is now 92-0 for the top seed since the bracket went to 64 teams. However, Harvard did win as a #16 seed against a #1 seed on the women's side in 1998, beating the Stanford Cardinal 71-67.
No but a #2 seed has beaten a # 5 seed just ask Jamal Tinsley what happened to his Iowa State team against Hampton. Its only happened 4 times though.
not D1 mens.
In the women's tournament, yes, but in the men's no. Harvard won in the womens tournment
It has never happened in the men's tournament. There have been a handful of 15 seeds that beat a 2 seed in the first round, but a 16 seed has never won a first-round game against a 1 seed. I have no clue about the women's tournament (yawn...)
