...only 20 different schools have won the NCAA championship.
And of those 41 championships, 32 were won by the same 11 repeat winners:
NC State 2
UCLA 2
Indiana 3
Kentucky 4
MSU 2
Louisville 3
North Carolina 4
Kansas 2
Duke 5
UConn 3
Florida 2
The one-time winners are:
Marquette
Georgetown
Villanova
Michigan
UNLV
Arkansas
Arizona
Maryland
Syracuse
POINT: eh, who cares. Let's keep dreaming. That Maryland team was the last of its kind to win. It could happen again. I'm partly surprised it's not happening more often -- experienced teams winning-- because talent is leaving earlier. But also the one and done talent is concentrating at fewer and fewer schools.
