Good morning, BBN!
With Baylor’s dominant victory over Gonzaga, the Bears join the prestigious list of NCAA Tournament champions as the 36th current D1 team with a championship. Only 15 current D1 teams (CCNY is gone) have multiple NCAA Tournament titles, and fortunately UCLA didn’t snag a 12th one in their torrent run. Here’s the complete list:
National Titles:
- UCLA — 11
- Kentucky — 8
- North Carolina — 6
- Indiana — 5
- Duke — 5
- Kansas — 3
- Cincinnati — 2
- Florida — 2
- Louisville — 2
- San Francisco — 2
- Oregon
- Wisconsin
- Stanford
- Wyoming
- Utah
- Holy Cross
- La Salle
- California
- Loyola Chicago
- Texas Western (UTEP)
- Marquette
- Georgetown
- Michigan
- UNLV
- Arkansas

It’s amazing what kind of teams have risen and fallen over the decades of this sport, with smaller conference schools like UTEP and La Salle building a championship team way back when.
