Schools with the most BB Championships

The stats for the 2000s. Of course, they don't include the 2025 results. Add one Final Four and one Championship for the Gators!

We are now tied with Duke, North Carolina and UConn with 3 Championships in the 2000s. Two ahead of Kentucky!

 

We're right there knocking on the blueblood door. One spot behind Kansas.
I hope everyone understands how damned hard it is to win a national championship.

By the way:
Final Four trips... Florida, 6.
The Rest of Florida... 4 (Jacksonville, FAU, Miami, FSU, 1 each). The other eight... zero.

 

and it’s been long since ucla and Indiana has sniffed anything, they should be removed from discussion.

ucla should have had numerous wins stripped due to their long time cheating. I recall Bill Walton admitting to getting anything they ever wanted.

 

Lots of errors in this table if it's meant to start in 2000:

UConn has 5 titles, not 3.
Duke has 5 final fours (01, 04, 10, 15, 22) not 4.
UNC has 7 final fours (00, 05, 08, 09, 16, 17, 22) not 6
Baylor not listed at all despite winning the tourney in 2021...

There's more errors but I'll stop there.

 

This is interesting, esp. with consideration to the blue blood convo. My quick thoughts are that IU should no longer be considered a blue blood. That ships sailed. FL, meanwhile, along with UConn should be considered a New Blood.

 

Gators are cold blooded.

 

Thanks for the info.

 

Thanks for the info.

 

Michigan State and Kansas really arent getting it done once the great seeding from their weak schedule wears off and they get to the F4

 

Cal should be embarrassed with all that talent he had during his tenure at Kentucky to not to have multiple championships.

Whenever I think about this I recall the old quote (Al MCGuire): "The best thing about Freshmen is in a year they'll be Sophomores." Cal never worried enough about having Sophomores.

 

Less than 15 teams have one the NCAA tournament in the last 40 years.
JMO. I think it's harder to win BB title than football title.

 

If I had to guess, there may be another filter applied that list. Lots of years missing, where is Kansas' 1988 title, for example?

Now we open up the question about how to count BB championships. NCAA only? NCAA and Helms? Etc.

Not an issue for UF but for some of those Blue Bloods it is a bone of contention.

 

It’s now 30 years that UCLA hasn’t won a championship. Meanwhile, in that span, we’ve won 3 in football and 3 in basketball
