Hi folks, I'm a big basketball fan and also a junior thinking about where to apply for college. Does anyone know which colleges have bagged the most basketball championships? I'd love to root for an amazing hoops team while in school!
Hello!
In the realm of men's college basketball, the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) holds the record for the most NCAA Championships, with 11 titles to their name. The University of Kentucky comes in second, with 8 championships.
For women's basketball, the most decorated programs are the University of Connecticut (UConn) and Tennessee, each with 11 and 8 championships, respectively.
Just bear in mind that while the athletics scene might be a bonus, focus on the academic and social fit of the college as well when making your decision. You'll be a student first, fan second! But it's certainly exciting supporting a top-tier sports team at your university. Best of luck with your college search!
