College Basketball Top Ten Update – Odds – Value

Scott Morris | March 8, 2023
College basketball top ten

The madness is just about upon us as teams wind down their regular season schedules. The conference tournaments will be a mere formality for many teams looking to get to the big dance and win it all. Winning a conference tournament is nice and all but it is not the true goal of any one of the top college basketball teams in the country.  In fact, in the last 20 season, the NCAA College Basketball National Champion failed to win their conference 11 times. You can the results below:

You probably already know that many of the teams in the top ten have already won a national championship because they have a long storied championship history (UCLA for example), but what about some of these other teams? We answer those questions individually below:

Has Houston Ever Won a College Basketball National Title?

Has Alabama Ever Won a College Basketball National Title?

No. They have lots of football championships but zero basketball championships. They have made the Sweet 16 eight times however.

Has Purdue Ever Won a College Basketball National Title?

No. But they have made two Final Four appearances.

Has Marquette Ever Won a College Basketball National Title?
