Structurally speaking, this was the first tournament of the modern era. For the first time:

1. An unlimited number of at-large teams could come from any conference (From 1975-1979, conferences were only allowed one at-large entry).

3. All teams were seeded solely based on the subjective judgment of the committee (in 1979, seeding was also partially based on the prior performance of a conference winner's conference).

In the second year the tournament field was seeded, no number one seed reached the Final Four. This would not happen again until 2006
