NCAA Champions

Here they are: the immortal teams of college hoops, from the 1939 Oregon Ducks -- with a starting five of Howard Hobson, John Dick, Urgel ‘Slim’ Wintermute, Laddie Gale, and Bobby Anet -- to the 2011 Connecticut Huskies.

For each year since the NCAA Tournament's inception in 1939, we've listed the teams that reached the Final Four and the tournament runner-up. The champion is listed in bold.

The first batch includes all teams since 1985 -- the year the tournament expanded to include 64 teams and the year Rollie Massimino's Villanova Wildcats pulled one of the biggest upsets in the history of March Madness, knocking off Patrick Ewing and the Georgetown Hoyas to win the title.
