Pennsylvania Becomes Fourth State With at Least Four NCAA Championships
Villanova's championship enabled Pennsylvania to become the fourth state with at least four NCAA Division I crowns. North Carolina and Duke combined for four NCAA Tournament titles in the previous nine years. The only time two different schools from the same state captured three consecutive NCAA titles was from 1960 through 1962 when Ohio State and Cincinnati reigned supreme. North Carolina was twice involved in back-to-back crowns with an in-state counterpart - 1982 and 1983 (N.C. State) plus 2009 and 2010 (Duke).
