Most NCAA Basketball Tournament Wins Without a Title
- Thread starter 60's Guy
- Start date
According to wiki...
37 different schools have won the tournament to date. UCLA has the most with 11 championships; their coach John Wooden has the most titles of any coach with 10. The University of Kentucky (UK) has eight championships, the University of Connecticut (UConn) and the University of North Carolina have six championships, Duke University and Indiana University have five championships, the University of Kansas (KU) has four championships, and Villanova University has three championships. Seven programs are tied with two national championships, and 23 teams have won the national championship once.
24 teams above have more wins than we do. What? 10? 20? between 15 wins and 22?
24 plus the 37 champions means at least 61 teams are ahead of us. More likely we are like 75th with those between 15 and 22 wins. Come on man...

Only 2 wins in the last 27 years hasn't helped our....well maybe it's helped us stay off this list.
I'm still upset about the Georgia Tech officiating.
Kentucky beat us fair & square.
Purdue's worst moment was losing to Duke in a Final-8 matchup. I'll never forget Glen Robinson getting pulled down from behind on a fast-break layup...and being called for an offensive foul.
The same thing happened to Sam Jacobson in the Sweet-16 game vs Clemson. But at least we pulled out the win...barely. Shouldn't have been that close though.
