The Villanova team poses after practice for the men's Final Four NCAA college basketball tournament, Friday, April 1, 2022, in New Orleans. – North Carolina has won six national championships and reached more Final Fours than any program in college basketball. Duke has claimed five titles under retiring coach Mike Krzyzewski and Kansas just surpassed Kentucky for the most wins in the history of the game on its way to the Final Four.
A quick survey of a dozen people at the Final Four on Friday, including players and coaches for each of the national semifinalists, the definitions varied. Or watch them play just down the road at Duke, which also checks every box. Coach K has turned a program that started to hoop in 1905 into a juggernaut, featuring everyone from Christian Laettner and Shane Battier to JJ Redick and Bobby Hurley, and there are few atmospheres that can rival Cameron Indoor Stadium on a cold winter's day.
But just how present? The Hoosiers are 5-1 in national title games, winning two championships under Branch McCracken and three under Bob Knight, but their last came in 1987 and they haven't reached the Final Four in two decades.The Spartans are perennial contenders, reaching the national semifinals 10 times, but their only championships came from Jud Heathcote in 1979 and Tom Izzo in 2000 — six Final Fours since then have failed to produce another one.
